Christine O'Neill (right), with her daughter, Caitlin, spent the last few days of her summer vacation in Kona. She first came to the Big Island from Montana in the early 70's to live, work, and play (tennis, mainly). Christine returned to the mainland, got married, had 2 children and completed her master's degree. Today, she lives in California, where she's an English instructor at Ventura College and Santa Barbara City College.
She makes her way back to Kona, at least once a year. The Big Island lures, as Christine explains:
"Why do I return to Kona? The people-plain and simple. While I love the way the island saturates my senses in all ways pleasurable, the people are first and last on my mind. Seeing my friends is at the top of my list, of course!! During this trip, meeting Bob and Pam Cooper at the Original Hawaiian Chocolate Factory was a special treat. They seem to have landed in Kona for all the right reasons, primarily because of a great love and respect for what the land has to offer. Oddly enough I learned about the factory from a Ventura friend, Cindy Hood."
Kona, and the Big Island, await her return. Friends here also keep track of Caitlin O'Neill as she starts her second year at Princeton as a guard on the women's basketball team. I wonder if the island has a hold on her too.
And yes, the island most definitely has a hold on me, too.
