I was really surprised and somewhat stunned when Fred Barnett, The Fishman, called me to tell me that the readers of the Honolulu Weekly had honored the H4 as their choice for Best Local Website 1996.
Being a bit out of touch, I had no idea that such a poll was even going on...
Mahalo Nui Loa to all those who participated and voted for the H4 - you've made a tall man cry tears of joy.
I'd like to share this wonderful recognition with our major contributors who tirelessly share their love with Hawai`i on line here with me: Dayle Turner, Ryan Ozawa, Ursulla Keuper-Bennett, Gregory Fields, James Hudgens, Susan Jaworski, Sharon Westfall, Mel AhChing and I'd like to extend a Big Mahalo to the three quarter of a million visitors from around the world who have stopped in to my humble home electronically since January 6th, 1995!
You make every day so extra special to me.
With warmest Aloha,
8/9/96
