A note from Donna Wampler Howard

Hi everyone and a big Aloha from Molokai, Hawaii

Yep, it's Donna, put me on the mailing list. I have been waiting since I spoke to Vicki, last ?_______2009, to try to find out how to get in touch with the setup committees. And I just found the information on classmates with Francine's information. Anyway, have been planning the trip for months just waiting to see or hear something final on dates, etc. So please keep me informed as it takes a lot of planning to get me away from my farm, and I plan on being in Hood River for at least 10 days or so, as my commitments over here won't let me be away any longer than that.

I am R.S.V.P.ing for myself and a guest, name (Sam Ishii) for the name tags if need be. We are both getting excited about a trip together back to Hood River as I haven't been able to bring Sam with me the last few times I had to come back to take care of family business. Now you all have to know he is strictly a laid back (like to call himself shy-but NOT) Japanese, born and raised here on Molokai, so be easy on him. Heh, heh. He has had the opportunity to come to Hood River a couple of times and loves it, but he thinks it's too COLD there.

Love you guys, looking forward to getting your updates and seeing you in June.

Aloha Nui Loa, Donna Wampler
