To the Bishop and Beyond:::: Hawaiian style

Well I do have to leave the island  Oahu tomorrow and  head back to school ....but I have had a great time here as always and as  this is my second home I will return. 
Yesterday I went to the Bishop Museum   and had the amazing opportunity to hang out with Dr. Yosihjko Sinoto: who is the senior anthropologist at the Bishop Museum.
Dr.Sinoto mentored under the renowned archaeologist/anthropologist Dr. K. Emory whom he spoke to me about with revere and sincerity. Dr. Sinoto  was one of the most entertaining and informative personalities I ever have encountered.Dr.Sinoto  is in his late 80's but as we chatted  he was back slapin me and laughing  as he spoke of his research in  the early 60's in the South Pacific. Dr.Sinoto was very interested in my research and was very enthusiastic about answering  my questions about my research proposal. Dr. Sinoto is just an amazing person.
 Again was an amazing opportunity in my life to have met a living legend in the archaeology field.
