True enough, Amergin :) I'll have to get my dad to tell me as much of the story's details as he can.

Mark: I lived on Maui, but my father used to live in Hilo--hell, you've probably met him! He used to own Harrington's restaurant (his second wife's name was Eileen Harrington). He's a bit of a restaurant guru in those parts. I was just in Hilo last week--we buried my grandmother's ashes and then went up in a big family unit (read: ball of chaos) to stay at the Volcano House and tromp around on Kilauea (I'm surprised Pele didn't lose patience and blast us all to kingdom come ;)).

Gosh, I should've had the foresight to ask who the Hawaii 'Catters were before I went. But I didn't have much time for socializing outside the Bauckhams, anyway. :)
