These stories presents scenes stretching from the dying Plantation Era to the dying veterans who walk among us.
Some stories emerge out of the rich cultural history of Japan, some from the Philippines. Some touch on the decisions of the Hawaiian Monarchy as they flow down to impact modern Hawai'i.
A children's story is told in the disappearing patois of the combined immigrant languages that, sausage like, became the lingua franca of the plantation communities.
The stories hold on to, for a little more time, the images, the language, the behavior that's come to be called "Aloha."
