 Aloha. My name is Mark Shklav. I am the host of Think Tech Hawaii's Law Across the Sea program. And I was asked to do a short commentary today about my own chosen subject. And first, when I was thinking of doing this, I was thinking, I'll do something controversial. Maybe Chief Louis Kealoha's retirement agreement and ask people, is this what you hired your public officials to do to give $250,000 to Chief Kealoha? And then I started thinking, well, this time of year, maybe we should be talking about more pleasant things, things to be thankful for. Now, I'm not naive. I know there's a lot of bad things that are happening in the world. And there are bad people in the world. And yet I think we should also talk about some good things. We get enough bad things every day. So I wanted to talk about what I'm thankful for and a couple of things. First, Hawaii. And let's take a look at the first screenshot, which is my fifth grade Kapalama school class photo. And the Howley Boy on the bottom is me and right in the middle. Howley Boy in the middle is me. And about two rows up, you'll see another boy right up there. His name is Henry Chalk. And over on the far left hand side is another boy named Bill Wise. And so I went to school here, grew up in Hawaii. And those two boys were my buddies in the fifth grade. And so I'm really thankful about Hawaii, giving me the opportunity to meet with that type of kid for all of us kids to be together in the same group. And you see the diversity of that group. And so we got to be friends. And I've learned a lot about Hawaii and dealing with people through those friendships. And Hawaii is a good place to grow up. And we should all be thankful that we live here. Now, I lost track of Bill and Henry over the years. Henry went to St. Louis. Bill went to Kamehameha. And I went to Punahoe all in the seventh grade. And from that time on, for over 50 years, we never saw each other. I learned that Bill passed away. But I made another friend, Reggie, a lawyer here in town. And we were talking. He went to St. Louis. And Henry Chalk was his buddy at St. Louis in the same class. And so he let me know when Henry came back for a reunion at St. Louis. And here's a photo, the next one, of Henry and I getting together after more than 50 years. And our friendship was still there. So rather than focus on maybe a lot of the current unhappy things, for a brief moment, I wanted to focus on what we can be thankful for. Hawaii and friends. And thank you for this opportunity. Aloha.
