August 25, 2021

Eighteen months later, here we are. We can move more freely and are forever thankful to see our residents' smiling faces again, who we missed so much last summer.

We serve the 1%

We were moving forward with a vengeance to protect our residents. Lock-down meant there would be no movement throughout the different entities on campus. Read More

He then was stationed in Pearl Harbor, arriving just two days after the Japanese bombing, where he rose to the rank of Aviation 3rd Class. Read More
