Mahalo Mitch and Gang for spearheading this wonderful event!
To all of you former Aloha Airlines employees, thank you for all the great service you provided over the years. I wish all of you prosperity and success in the future. Also, mega mahalo to all who worked so hard in organizing the "1st Annual 'Funbird' Party. My wife and I had a great time meeting with old friends and acquaintances. The two bands, "Asian Blend" and "Glass Candle" were almost exactly as I remember them. Fantastic! (amazing for old Fs) We hope to be able to attend the 2nd annual event.
Again, from the island of Maui, much mahalo! Mark and Lois
