Here’s another photo from way back.

I’m pretty sure this special dinner was soon after Meda and I were married and returned to Honolulu to attend graduate school at UH. We’re sitting at the table in the tiny tiny nook of my parents’ old house in Kahala. Note the so woven lauhala mat covering the floor of the room. The table is set with my mother’s “fancy” glasses, that peak up into the camera’s view, and a tablecloth is in use, not a regular occurrence. Meda and my mother seem to be dressed up a bit, while my dad and I are pretty casual. It doesn’t look like Christmas, since there are no decorations in view.

I’m guessing that this could have been a late celebration of my birthday, delayed until we had arrived back in Honolulu in late August of 1969. If so, it would have been one of the first events in which Meda and I celebrated with my parents.
