Hawaii is called the Aloha State because of the warmth and generosity of the Hawaiian people. I have never set foot in our 50th state but I do know of the Aloha spirit due to a nearly quarter century friendship with a native of Hawaii.

I've never met my friend in person since I'm stuck here on the mainland and with passing years long distance travel has become impossible for me, however I have learned much of the Aloha spirit from my friend in Hawaii. She is the most caring and generous person I known. She has shared with me,through her foto's her travels and have gegeven me a taste of her...
