I remember this day quite well. Meda and I had started graduate school at the University of Hawaii in the fall of 1969, and it was probably early the next year that we visited Paradise Park up in the back of the valley.

My mother was with us, along with her Uncle Mac, James McPherson, who married her mother’s sister. Uncle Mac was then 91 or 92, as I recall. I know there are other pictures of him from that day, but I’ll track those down on another occasion.
