HILO IS HOME

Thank you for a very niee newspaper. You are doing a wonderful job. I was born at Ahualoa, Honoka'a and left Hilo June 6, 1959, the day after my daughter graduated from Hilo High. I am now 86 and live in a niee senior citizens' apartment 1 5 minutes from my son in Alameda, Calif. Sometimes I think of my home land, but the reason I don't eome home is that my three sisters and five brothers are gone. I just wanted to write and thank you all for this very niee newspaper of my home land. May God bless all of you. Caroline Niaupio Bray Emeryville, Calif.
