Great job! It just shows how a quality private school education pays off.

McArthur is technically a native Hawaiian (she was born in Honolulu), but it's good to see a local doing a great job on the shuttle.

How would you like to be her husband now?

A friend of mine has been attached to a lazy-Susan device for years. We did try and warn him.

Well said, Ned! Those lousy MVHS students will never accomplish anything.

Actually Ned, Megan went to MVHS for the first two years of high school before transferring to St Francis :)

I don't recall saying anything negative about MVHS... just that a quality private education pays off. I've obviously struck a nerve.
