Uncle Ed has left the building

Here are some photos from Uncle Ed Collier's retirement lunch in June of this year. Pictured are Mark Sumikawa, Greg Sekiya, Mike Nakagawa (starting to look like Anderson Cooper from CNN, okay not that much white hair), and Lisa and Scott Simon. Dawn Izawa Hirano was also in attendance, but missed the photo op.

Uncle Ed Collier has been at Iolani for... kinda long time (Umo, Lisa, you guys gotta help out). But from the couple of yearbooks I have here in California, he went to Leward Community College and then on to University of Hawaii, Manoa. And in 1987, he listed his favorite quote as: "There are brighter tomorrows." Well, considering that he has retired from such a wonderful career at Iolani, with loving friends, family, old students surrounding him, he has as wonderful foundation for forging into his brighter tomorrows. Congratulations!

Thanks for the update Umo!

I believe his first year at Iolani was back in 84 when we were in the 8th grade.

There was also an alumni performance done at the party but for some reason, they forgot to ask the original 1K boyz to participate.
