CONGRATULATIONS to all of the March Finalists in advance. I will not be posting or replying for a while as my Mother is in the hospital after a severe stroke. My 16 and sometimes 24 hour stays at the hospital keep my from doing much of anything else and I know everyone understands. Many thanks to all of you who have supported me! With fond Aloha, Stan

Still trying to get caught up with answering your responses, which I very humbled by and very grateful as well. Mahalo!, Cindy, Cathy, Ann, Linda, Phil, Stan, Mary, Michelle, Roger, and Donna! I don't know how else to thank you all for your well wishes, prayers, and thoughts for my Mom, but know that you are all being prayed for as well every night at about 7:00 p.m.!!! The family says a Rosary (my Mom's favorite way of praying) every night in which we are able to offer prayers for others and you are included!!

Hey Stan,Jennifer A. Okamoto June 06, 2005
Stan, Please accept my apology in not writing to you sooner or congratulating you sooner. I have been flaking off pretty much and busy with life. I hope your mom continues to improve. I take it that she is on Kauai with you. If that is the case, you are lucky you didn't have to fly to Honolulu. Take care and I'll keep you and your mom in my prayers... #1439160Stanley J. Contrades June 06, 2005
Thanks bunches, Eric, and I sent you an e-mail, as the shoot is definitely on!! See you next month!!Hi, Jennifer! No apology needed as I am sure you really have lots to do. Yes, she's on Kaua'i and guess that's why I was 'sent' there by my job nearly 7 years ago :-)!! Thanks for stopping in and I hope all is well with you as well!!
Aloha no,
