John McClure had to call Daphne from the Hawaii Coffee Association Conference since he saw one of Daphne’s good friends.
John said Emmrich Grosch, in addition to selling equipment for the Captain Cook Trading Co., is one of the bigger distributors of macadamia nuts. He said Sandy Poehnelt of The Right Slice gets her mac nuts from Emmrich…too bad there were no pie ingredients around or Sandy would’ve been at the conference, too.
Kudos to Wayne Katayama and the Kauai Coffee Company crew on hosting a great Conference!
Kudos, too, to Rev. Kazunori Takahashi, Sachiko Grollman and all the members of the Kapaa Hongwanji Mission in hosting Dr. Genshitsu Sen XV of the Urasenke Tradition.
Art Umezu had to check out the tea ceremony and was thrilled to join former mayor Maryanne Kusaka and the Chado Urasenke Tankokai, Kauai Association in hosting the Japan delegation.
