One thing my brother (who is here to pick up some furniture) was looking for
was the newspaper from when Hawaii became a state. (Also the one from when
Alaska became a state in 1948). My parents never threw anything away, which
is making clearing out the house rather difficult but also fun I
remember them carting those newspapers all over the world with us. Funny,
once they got here apparently they threw them away. Yet they saved these
menus from the ship. Go figure. And yes, I noticed the Kona Coffee
