Hello to my wife, Arleen — I miss her. I can’t wait to get home on leave. Hello to the rest of my family: Mom and Dad, my nieces and nephews, the staff at Wai'anae High School and the students — I’ll be back. Just thanking everybody for the support that they provided for us one way or the other, like tools and nails and welding equipment. I think there’s some merit to what we’re doing here, and we just take one day at a time.
