I lived in Hawaii for 6 years, It is one of the few places on the face of this beautiful planet that I will never go back to visit. I met a few very wonderful people, and a great many of the most racist people I have ever seen.

You can imagine growing up there - and going to high school (Damien) at the foot of the hill below Kam School. Until I left for college - it was fight or flight every day.
When I got to Oregon State - the relief was beyond description.
They (the other Kam school kids and their folks) are going to pound this boy 'til he is beyond recognition. Mentally and physically he'll be able to coast through year one at West Point if he survives what is coming his way.
