Today is our anniversary, and Wednesday will be my birthday. We have zero in the way of plans. At the last minute, about an hour ago, we invited a friend and his wife to lunch. She’s on the mainland, but he’ll be joining us. But no worries. We’ll manage to have fun.
Just FYI: If you’ve had your fill of Hawaii primary election news, I have a new story about the Mike Miske case that should be published over at Civil Beat tomorrow. I’ll say more and provide a link tomorrow morning.
As I was fooling around this morning, I stumbled across two photos. I had taken a camera to school back in the third grade at Kahala Elementary School. I have a few photos taken of friends in one of the classrooms, and at some point the camera was pointed at me. Photographer unknown. Years later, nearly 60 years later, I returned to the same spot for the school’s 60th anniversary. The school and the neighborhood are different. Trees have grown, more buildings added, etc.
So I thought to myself, what if I just dropped the nine year old Ian into the 70-year old Ian’s picture?
Here’s a quick and dirty version of us sharing the moment.

Ditto??
Lest we be misinterpreted, the question marks were an unrecognized heart shaped exclamation point: heart over a red dot.
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!
Great photo! Just love that. And a very Happy Birthday and anniversary. My phone conversation with one of Meda’s former students over the weekend was another reminder what wonderful treasures you both are to our community.

Aloha Nui
I think we must have attended Kahala Elementary at the same time. I’m 72 going on 73. My biggest fear was the possibility of getting into trouble since we always had the threat of being paddled hanging over our heads. Are those really supposed to be “The good old days”? I never got a paddling. I was crafty that way.
I entered the 2nd grade the year the school opened. That must have been September 1954, and graduated from the 6th grade in 1959.
Great time traveling photo!
