Today's Featured Biography

Ronald DaShiell

Departed Kailua in 1960 to the big city of Philadelphia. The first big city girl I met I married within 9 months. Within two years my daughter was born. The new addition was not impressed with my lack of education (she wanted food & diapers) so I returned to school to get my degrees. I had two more children in later years.

Since, I have had a wonderfully rewarding career in the Transportation Industry.

I retired to Florida in 2000 went to work (part time)for Disney Cruise Lines in the logistics department. I come out of retirement in 2003 and return to my profession. UPDATE: In 2005 it was discovered that I had Cancer. I spent the next year fighting the ugly intruder. After 5 surgeries and 6 months of chemo I am totally "C-Free". Now: (2009) I am again retired and have returned to Disney Cruise Lines in the logistics department. I work a few days a week and have employee access to the Disney World parks 365. Plus I have many perks visiting the Disney properties. Here in Florida that is a big deal!


For those who remember: I did become a professional bowler: having a few victories my first 300 at 18. I did tour for a few years with forgettable but satisfying success. Although, I did totally achieve my personal goals: I did achieved enough to walk away without regret.

I return to Kailua every 3 to 5 years just to remember the great life I enjoyed with all my classmates and friends. I want to smell the air, eat the foods and hear the sounds. Next trip in May 2010.

UPDATE: I visited Kailua in May and June 2007. Actually stayed in a converted apartment across the street (R. Mundy's old house) from the house I was raised in on Awakea Road. It was the most surreal visit I have ever experienced. I was home and I knew it! I seriously considered the option of moving back to Kailua later in 2008. I finally realized that it is still an island: now over populated. I am somewhat nomadic: love to travel by all modes of transportation including auto. The smallness of O'ahu and the distance of islands to anywhere would prevent that lust for travel. I am going to the 50th Kai-Hi reunion in March 2010.
