What a wonderful article! About a wonderful, inspiring place, and a terrific granddaughter.  Wish I had one just like her.   I kept thinking that this article was too intuitive maybe sensitively insightful to be written by a man (sorry guys...). And I never saw Tad's photo before!  Was thrilled to learn about her and will eagerly follow her symposium!
I spent my honeymoon on 11 acres in Hana that my godfather, soon to be father in law was going to give us.  It was 1969.  My husband was back from Vietnam, and incredibly suffering what was only to be expected from a bright, intelligent, compassionate 19 year old young writer....Hana was so healing for us.  I remember the uplands tenderly, and the church especially.  
We cherish the beauty of that time, the peace of the uplands and the wonderful smallness of everything.    What was hysterical was trying to buy condoms in the Hana Ranch store......they were ancient, locked in the manager's office desk.  We got pregnant!
