On the afternoon of Saturday, January 26, 2013, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Tricia Nakamatsu and I worked on testimonies for bills scheduled for hearings in the Hawaii State Legislature next week.
In the evening, we attended a gathering under a mango tree and “talked story” with friends I am lucky and honored to have made over the years: former House Sergeant of Arms Frank Arakaki, former Senator Joe Tanaka, former Honolulu Councilman Jon Yoshimura, former Senator Whitney Anderson, former Senator Donna Ikeda, Honolulu Councilman Ikaika Anderson, Maui Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Richard Minatoya, Alika Thompson, James Pacopac, Eddie Hayashi, Dr. Jeffrey Akaka, Alec Sou, and others.
