A trip to the islands generated unexpected gratification for Dale Farris and his family last week, especially the surprise right at the end.
“It was our first time there,” Farris said Wednesday from his home near Arcata, Calif., “and it was beautiful, we were amazed by everything we saw and all the people we met, everyone so friendly and helpful.”
They scheduled the trip around daughter McKenna’s free time in high school at a point the University of Hawaii at Hilo basketball team had a couple home games so they could watch their son Parker.
Boy, was their timing good, even though they had to return before Thursday’s game against Dixie State at The Civic.
