Re: Chin Ho Kelly’s
griping through Jeffrey Higa
Dear Chin,
I can only say that you
were extremely lucky to work for Steve McGarrett. McGarrett’s warmth and caring for his men was legendary! I
also remember all the fun we had at the office ... Steve was such a stitch ...
and as for booking, well, all I can say is you sure booked your way through the
grub every day!! And by the way, when I promised never to tell anyone about you
and Kono holding hands I really meant it! So much for
that NOW, bigmouth!! Anyhow, I thought you were dead. Steve had the nicest
funeral for you that you would ever want to see ... real flowers and all! He
even cried at the funeral (so WHAT if it was on the seventh take). Well, I gotta go before I get more upset.

and Aloha in spite of it all ....
