I am James and my precious wife is Elizabeth. She is (and smilingly says so) my second love -- this island was my first.
Fled here in 1974 from Oahu after finishing 4 long and stressful years in the Navy.
Kalapana, hmmm. Got my heart and head in one place at the same time; discovered life was pretty darned good. Attended Hilo College. Left (for some reason I can't recall) and went back to the farm in Kentucky; finished university there after Elizabeth swept me off my feet. Then, Philippines, and then, along with three cildren, Tennessee, Louisiana, Australia, and back to Hawaii in 2001. Took 26 years to get back and everyday I am happier that I am here.
