Koa'e Kea Reunion...

we;d 
We'd been invited to a reunion of the flight attendants (DC-3) for Hawaiian
Airlines.  Our dear friend, Te Moana, is an "ex Lexie" and 
the aunties were going to be part of a "recreation of the
Hawaiian Room show".

cute little centerpieces

every place setting had a sheet of Hawaiian Airlines stickers.
Hawaiian is celebrating their 85th year this year, so there
was a slide show showing the early years.

 Got to see friends that I don't get to see very often...Roy!

they held a drawing for all kinds of door prizes.  
They announced the last one and it was a coffee table book
about the history of Hawaiian Airlines and it was signed by Hawaiian
Airlines president, Mark Dunkerley.
I said that I'd love to win that (especially for Terry)...
 well I did!!  There was also a dvd of the interviews that were used 
in writing the book!  So excited.

Te Moana re-created a mini "show" like in the Lexington Hotel.
The girls from Aunty Lei's studio were the dancers...they even brought
up some of the pilots from the audience to learn a hula.


our dear friend, Te Moana looking as beautiful as ever.

A short clip of the "Ex Lexes" dancing the finale "To You Sweetheart Aloha".
The clip is from Hula Preservation Society.  Maile has worked so hard to bring
the story of the Hawaiian Room to the public.
