Years ago I knew this fellow in passing, literally, as he'd regularly pass on his Waikiki sunset cruise while we soaked up old Hawaiian music at beachfront, always stopping with a short but fun talk. We all figured he was gay, but liked him for his perfect Mr. Magoo looks and bright positive outlook. Too bad his picture from the paper isn't available, he even looked like a winner.
