  1. Thank you for sharing these. So far as I know, there is just about nothing being done here in Honolulu by way of any public events in commemoration of 3/11.

    I wish I were in New York for these events, to feel involved, to feel engaged, to feel like I was doing something.

    I have made many friends here in Hawaii, and become fairly engaged in certain communities (esp. on-campus, and among the local Okinawan-American community), but, being away from New York, I feel terribly disconnected from that feeling of being in the “center of the world”, in a major world-city at the center of the forefront of major activities and events.

    If only in the tiniest way, you have helped me feel connected, and engaged, vicariously. Arigatou.

  2. Travis, thank you for your comment. I’m glad this site was able to help you feel connected to activities here in New York. I don’t feel sorry for you living in Hawaii, though! 🙂
