I love Hawaii.

 My late Auntie Mildred loved Hawaii and has visited there since the early 40's.   She has always said that this headpiece was  placed on her head by Hilo Hatti -- it's one of those family stories that could be true!   Her first documented trip to Hawaii was in 1946 or '48  on the Lurline ship.  She even clipped out ads from a magazine. 

This photo montage is for Auntie Mildred.  The photo in the heart-shaped lens is my Auntie Mildred, taken in the 50's on a beach in Honolulu.

Well done, Judy. Very creative to put that photo of your Aunt Mildred in the glasses!

Thanks Carol & Linda: I'm sure Auntie Mildred would have loved the montage! She had kept that shell headpiece for probably 40+ years!

Interesting in that I believe your Auntie Mildred and I were in Hawaii at the same time! My family moved there in 1959, and we traveled there aboard the Matsonia (the sister ship of the Lurline). Your Auntie Mildred and I were both in Hawaii the day it became a state! Good shot, Judy. --Carol Leigh
