Greetings from Maui!


We are here! and loving it. Greeted by our Uncle Billy in Maui after a long, long trip.
Lots of catching up and relaxing before we get our grand tour of the island.

On my way to Maui...



















I'm feeling pretty charged as I charge various cameras and accessories. Looking forward to seeing my Uncle Billy after a long, long time and finally meeting his wife Rose. Oh, and then there are the miles and miles of beautiful beaches...

Though the beaches are nice to think about, I haven't lost sight of one important reason why I'm going now. This is the kick off of a very exciting search for OJ. Let's hope there are many more Luhrssen reunions to come.

Here are some nice pics courtesy of my cousins, Billy and Hagar Luhrssen. The first is of OJ painting (I'm sure my Uncle Billy who is awesome with remembering dates will tell me when it was taken) and the three youngest of the Luhrssen boys Billy, Bruce and OJ (left to right).

And one more thing... I think that kicking off this project this weekend, and this day in particular, August 16th is very significant. The 40th Anniversary of my parents wedding, a great party that I missed, where my Uncle OJ was my Dad's best man. Also the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock. The greatest party/concert in history and I know for sure that 2 of the 3 guys up there are still bitter that they missed it. What great brothers (and uncles) they are.
