Misty May honored

In October, the OHA board approved a resolution congratulating Native Hawaiian Misty Kēhaunani May for winning a gold medal in women's heaeh volleyball at the 2004 Summer 01ympic Games in Athens, Greece. May and her teammate, Kerri Walsh, stormed through the 2004 01ympics, winning every set in their seven

matches. They disposed of the secondseeded Brazilian team to win the gold. Although May was born and raised in California, she has family ties to Moloka'i, through the May-Kupahea 'ohana.
