Bonus facts:

Jane is proud of her collection of ticket stubs and guitar picks amassed at live concerts. Her prized pick was thrown directly at her from Chris Carrabba, lead singer of Dashboard Confessional.

In 1991 (during shop class at Kailua Intermediate), Malia discovered her love of power tools. Her most prized 2020 gift to herself is her Makita chainsaw.

Congratulations Jane and Malia!
