His services were this morning. He was 80 yeard old and in good health. His death was a freak accident. He fell and hit his head. There is another George Nakashima, a furntiure designer who died in 1990, which may have confused you. George had a large family and at his services there was a great display of his work. The BOT was on display there opened to the Mai Kai section. One of his drawings of the Mauna Loa was given to a lady who had contacted in the beginning about George, and she will be bringing it to Hukilau or sending it to me to scan and print to bring. She will see if there is anything else she can bring to share. Mr. Chin of Chin Tiki was at the services as well. It is very unfortunate George did not get to experience the aloha we would have shared with him next month.
