ALOHA! From Hawaii
Photo By Bruce
Both Debbie and I were born in RI and lived there the first 20 years or so of our lives. I joined the USAF and was stationed
in Minot ND. In 1980 I returned for a visit and married my wife of now almost 29 years We lived there for the next six years and started
our family and all three of our kids were born in Minot ND. In Nov 1986 I was medically retired from the Air Force and moved to Colorado
Springs CO and raised our family there over the next nineteen years. When our children became of age and looked to start their own
adult lives. We had fell in Love with Hawaii through visits to the islands and felt we were in need of warmer
weather than our homes (RI, ND, CO) of the past had to offer. So we sold almost all we had and with little more than what we had on
our back (and what $5000 would Ship). We set off to start life anew in Hawaii.
