P.S.

The Hawaiians sure do celebrate Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, P residents Day, Valentines, Labor Day, New Years, Memorial Day. They celebrate anything, everything, nothing! They celebrate because it's Tuesday or Friday or Sunday; they celebrate because the sun shines - or it doesn't sh9ine. They love to celebrate.

What a discouraging sentence you wrote: " I don't think I'l even visit Florida or Hawaii..." Of course you will! You will go to and seen any place in the world you want to. Have a little patience. Get all the education you can. Study a foreign language if your school offers it - especially French. Or Russian - or Spanish or Italian. And read. I can't stress too much how important this is.

You asked about volcanos on Oahu. Next time I'll tell you about our beautiful Diamond Head - complete with pictures.

Do you have a friend who is also interested in Hawaii with whom you can share all your new information?

Your penmanship is a joy! Where did you learn it? Are you able to read mine easily (more or less) ?

I've given you all the Hawaiian words I know. If you have specific words in mind, I can findout what they are if ther is a translation of them.

Love,
