    Hi Dave,


    Good, I'm glad all worked out, even tho it meant Sean had to swap out
    hard drives. Steve is thinking that his hard drive is beginning to go
    so it looks like a new computer is in will be in the house sooner or later.

    I have a self-powered hard drive enclosure with a USB interface left
    over amd updated from when I had the confuser store. The only time I
    had a drive get wobbly on me I bunged a new (larger capacity) drive
    into the enclosure and backed up the main drive to it. Then - Presto! Change-0! Bob's your uncle ... reboot the computer with the new drive
    and life goes on.

    After Steve switched from the C=64 to IBM type computers (first one was
    a 286 from military surplus sales) I lost track of what all was needed,
    what goes where, etc. Do know that I got a phone survey call about home computers; after verifying we had one, the next question was what
    make/model. Well, the printer is X, the keyboard is Y, the monitor is Z...........I think I gave the surveyor a good laugh.

    This recipe was selected for the title as well as for its author
    credit.

    Title: Maui Memory Pizza
    Categories: Breads, Pork, Fruits, Vegetables, Cheese
    Yield: 2 Servings

    I can see where it might be Maui memories for her but I've got other memories of Maui. Eating in the only IHOP in the state, going up to try
    to see the sunrise over Haliakala (clouds obscured it at the last
    minute), Hawaii-Pacific Baptist Convention, and more but not pizza.

    My only time in Hawaii was spent at N.a.S. Barber's Point as we fueled
    and serviced the aircraft and fueled and rested the crew preparatory
    to making the final jump back to the mainland on our "round the world" training flight. About all I got the see of the world on tht deal was
    a lot of water and tops of clouds (water vapor). And the insides of several military aerodromes.

    While we were stationed on Oahu, we got to see quite a bit of the
    island. Also got over to Maui for the above mentioned convention &
    sight seeing, the Big Island for sight seeing (had some tours built
    into the package Steve got thru MWR--Morale, Welfare & Recreation) and Kauai for sight seeing (we did a fly/drive long week end). So, we saw a good bit of the state, got to try new to us foods and made lots of good memories. Going back to Oahu over 4th of July week end brought back
    quite a few of the latter.

    Physically we brought back macadamia nuts, both chocolate covered and garlic/onion flavored, a couple of T shirts, ball caps, forever leis and fabric/buttons (about 4 yards quilted, 14 yards not quilted. Oh, and a
    couple of water bottles & puka shell necklaces. Packed all that into one
    roller bag; the other one had all the clothes, shoes, etc. On Sunday our
    church service was held at a country club club house with a buffet lunch afterward. We got to have pulled pork, pineapple, mac salad and other
    Hawaiian goodies but no poi was served. They had enough left overs that families were told to fill take out boxes (make plate) so we had it for
    supper as well.

    Having red the book Hawaii byJim Michner makes me wish I had been
    there pre WWII.

    I've read it several times, not exactly accurate but a good read, as
    most of his books are.

    Hmmmmmmm, wonder what the relationship might be.

    Try your search engine. Or Grandma's memory. Bv)=

    I did the former, looks like there might be some relationship. Can't
    check with Grandma as she passed away some years ago. Steve's dad was
    one of her 11 children; I think only one is left now.

    Have you ever "Googled" yourself? Some good laughs may be had along
    with a feeling of ooutrage if one of your namesakes has been up to "tricks".

    Tried it maybe 25 years ago but not since. No interest in doing so
    again.


    Title: Toast Hawaii
    Categories: Breads, Pork, Fruits, Cheese
    Yield: 2 Servings

    Toast Hawaii was popularized by the German TV Chef
    Clemens Wilmenrod in 1955. It became a popular meal in
    the German speaking realm throughout the 60s, 70s and
    80s. Even Tiptopf has a recipe for Toast Hawaii.

    I have vague memories of seeing it on some menus when I went over to Germany in 1975. Did a 3 week trip with my aunt, visiting family and touring some of the country. We moved over there with the military in October, 1986, stayed until July of 1992 with only one trip back to the States for me and the girls. Steve went back a couple of times for schools, was gone almost a year altogether, with only a couple of
    months at home between.

    As my brother says of his time in the Army - he went where he was sent
    and did (mostly) what he was told.

    That's the way to do it. Our original plan was 4 years and out, ended up
    being 26 years, introduced to lots of new to us foods and parts of the country/world.

    What did you find inaccurate? Michener was well known for his extensive/ exhaustive research.

    I've done it several times. Amazing how much more "stuff" the search
    found on the later searches.

    Under the spelling our family uses (single "M") I found writers, artists
    and even a preacher. I write - and have made my living doing so in the
    past. And I draw, pAint and do artsy/craftsy stuff. But, I'm a "devout" agnostic. Bv)=

    Phil volunteered his draft and as a thanks the army sent him to Vietnam.
    He's a very lucky man. Only one of his squad from basic that made it home more-or-less intact.

    I had visions of making the Navy a career - but, raging hormones got in
    the way. I was in lust (I thought it was love) when time to re-up came
    around ... and I know if I signed on again I'd be sent to Spain or Greece.
    So, I listened to the wrong head and stayed in Memphis ... turning down a U$10,000 reenlistment bonus (in 1962 dollars).

    A case of "Too soon old. Too late smart!" if ever their was one. Still I've
    had a pretty good life and even if I whine once in a while my heart isn't
    in it.

    Hi Dave,

    What did you find inaccurate? Michener was well known for his

    I don't remember off the top of my head; it has been some years since I
    read it. But I do remember reading it while over there and at times
    thinking "this isn't quite right".

    Have you ever "Googled" yourself? Some good laughs may be had along
    with a feeling of ooutrage if one of your namesakes has been up to "tricks".

    Tried it maybe 25 years ago but not since. No interest in doing so

    I've got all sorts of people in my background, including a number who
    have made their living using written words. I've been told many times I
    should do more writing (for profit) but haven't, yet.

    That's the way to do it. Our original plan was 4 years and out, ended

    the country/world.

    Phil volunteered his draft and as a thanks the army sent him to
    Vietnam. He's a very lucky man. Only one of his squad from basic that
    made it home more-or-less intact.

    Steve had a high enough draft number that he escaped that mess. Both his
    and my brothers missed it also. Afterward, before we got married, he
    debated the Navy at one point but decided against it at the time. When
    he did enlist, the Army was his best option.


    I had visions of making the Navy a career - but, raging hormones got
    in the way. I was in lust (I thought it was love) when time to re-up
    came
    around ... and I know if I signed on again I'd be sent to Spain or
    Greece. So, I listened to the wrong head and stayed in Memphis ...
    turning down a U$10,000 reenlistment bonus (in 1962 dollars).

    We were married, had 2 kids and a dog when Steve enlisted. He was able
    to get a bonus several times he re-enlisted, forget how much but it was
    nice.


    A case of "Too soon old. Too late smart!" if ever their was one. Still I've had a pretty good life and even if I whine once in a while my
    heart isn't in it.

    I was somewhat skeptical when Steve enlisted but it turned out to be one
    of the best choices he ever made.
