Moving ahead

I am really glad to see that Trustee Rowena Akana has put her bashing of others aside. In the February KWO issue, Trustee Boyd Mossman hit it on the head in his message of coming together in unity for the betterment of all Hawai'i citizens. All must focus on our humility, our faith in akua (whichever it may be, for he encompasses all) and our quest for excellence. Yes, I am one of the brothers in prison that has put all the differences of the Hawaiian heritage movements on the side before we no longer have a ehanee to be heard. I just want to say a big mahalo a nui loa for all the fine work that's been done by OHA over the years. You've gone through the growing pains of any other motivated organization, and now it is most certainly the time to put all the crap on the side and eome together with those experiences in unity, aloha and eommon sense.
