Aloha, Kamehameha Schools Students, Faculty and Administrators,

We are a retired military couple who have lived in Hawai'i three times for a total of 7 1/2 years. One of our most enjoyable memories was watching the Song Fest contest between the 9-12 grades. It is so wonderful to know that this school, founded by Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop continues to fulfill her desire to provide quality education (including cultural education) to children of Hawaiian descent and heritage.

Just today, on Fox News, we heard of the law suit that is attempting to force acceptance of a non-Hawaiian student. We just wanted to take time to tell you that we fully and completely support the position of the school in admitting only students who can prove Hawaiian heritage - as Princess Pauahi wanted it. Our prayers will be with you as you continue the fight to preserve what she established according to the terms of her last will and testament. If there was a way for us to make a contribution financially to assist with the fight you have been forced into, then we would. Unfortunately, we are not able to.

Keep up the good work - mahalo nui loa for all you are doing for the children of Hawaiian heritage.

Aloha,
Stephanie and David Spindler
Ishpeming, MI
