Kaluanawaa/Paakaula Reunion Is Sought

Members of the 'ohana of Solomon Piimauna Palau (Wong-Yuen) Kaluanawaa and Elizabeth Nawahinemakaokekai Paakaula are invited to form a family association to plan for a possible 'ohana gathering in July 1990. Family member Pauline Pualani Kalua Torres writes: Dear Ohana, Aloha! Are you interested in learning about your own unique past and heritage? Have you ever reminisced about a cousin, a grand-aunt or unele whom you have not seen since your childhood? Can you imagine how large our 'ohana has grown since the days of Solomon and Elizabeth? Just imagine all the marriages and births! Our elders have many memories to share and stories to pass on to our own children. If you agree with me, I think it is time for us to gather our 'ohana. How do you feel about a gathering of our 'ohana? Please let me know. My address and phone number are shown at the bottom of this letter. May I hear from you by the end of August? I respect your thoughts and weleome any and all replies. If you are enthusiastic about this endeavor, please join me in setting the foundation of a family association to plan for our 'ohana gathering. July 4, 1990 has been chosen but this date ean be changed. I will be waiting to hear from you and wish to thank eaeh of you for taking a little of your time to let me know how you feel. Our gathering ean be one of mueh aloha and happiness and a ehanee for our families to become closer. God Bless all of you.
