Wayne Medeiros starts a new page today (good thing we only had wind-blown scattered showers on Tuesday) as he starts his retirement following more than 30 years with Kukui Grove Center in Lihu‘e. Shirley Simbre-Medeiros (and where were all those musical kupuna?) was at the shopping center on Wayne’s last day. Happy retirement, Wayne!
