My youngest daughter, Larissa, graduated from the 8th grade Friday night, so I thought you might enjoy a photo and little personal note. Riss was born in Hawaii, where I was news director of KGMB-TV. That makes her a keiki o ka aina, a “child of the land.”

Everything is laid back in Hawaii, even childbirth. She was 2-weeks overdue, and our ob-gyn recommended acupuncture. She was born six hours later. The delivery room had a dark corner with a warm water bath, and it was my pleasure to bathe her immediately after she came into this world. She was calm-as-could-be, and I’ll never forget the way she looked at me.

And now she’s a little hottie that’s about to drive the boys crazy (If it’s not already happening!).

Way to go, Riss. I’m very proud of you.
