Great job! It just shows how a quality private school education pays off.

McArthur is technically a native Hawaiian (she was born in Honolulu), but it's good to see a local doing a great job on the shuttle.

A friend of mine has been attached to a lazy-Susan device for years. We did try and warn him.

Actually Ned, Megan went to MVHS for the first two years of high school before transferring to St Francis :)

I don't recall saying anything negative about MVHS... just that a quality private education pays off. I've obviously struck a nerve.
