I also need to thank Dr. Susan Littler at Kauai Medical Group for letting me have my trick or treat early so I could attend the tournament. And mahalo to nurses Nikki, Maile, Sivitri, Dawn and the rest of the fourth-floor labor and delivery nurses.
But most of all, we all need to thank Eddie Taniguchi III.
