A word about my blog .....

I'm using this blog to keep notes on my life and experiences, plus to keep track of my own recovery from a stroke (December 2006).

For those of you who were not aware, my brother, John, died on February 10, 2010. His remains were cremated and interred at Green Hills Memorial Park.

1028 relatives

We had some visitors at the house today. Cousin Dean (see pic) came by with his parents. They used to live on Oahu (Pearl City, to be exact), but have since moved to Nevada. They were in town this weekend to spend time with Dean's sister, Nora, and her family.

Most of my memories of Dean date back to when I was in elementary school. Dean was in college then, and he was the first person to get me hooked on Star Trek. He was an engineering student at Stanford and served in the ROTC. The army became his career and he rose to the rank of colonel before retiring.

We spent some time catching up and it was great to see him and his parents. My father took them on a tour of the backyard and loaded them up with a bag of persimmons, apples, and other fruits from the trees.
