Aloha,

Wow!!! The holidays are upon us!!! Of course, I haven't done any Christmas shopping, Christmas carding, etc.! Time sure does fly when you are having fun!! 2001 has been a great year, but it has gone too fast!! It has been tragic with the events of September 11, 2001, but the American resolve has only been strengthened. Let us pray that this War on Terrorism will bring peace and stability to us and the world.

Another year has passed, they seem to go faster and faster, my pace has not slowed, but the Holiday Season has caught me unprepared. I don't think that I am alone in this situation, but those stress free days of high school on Okinawa are great consolation to reflect upon and bring life back into perspective. Relax and reflect during the fast paced Christmas season is a survival necessity. What a crazy world!

Let us gather together and pray for peace and prosperity!

Since time flys, gosh it will soon be time for the 2002 Hawaii Fest, 24-31 October. Make a commitment and do it!!! Attend!!

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! May God Bless You and Yours!!!

Mike
