My freind in Rehab Hospital , Hawaii
I first met Bill in the Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific (1974), Hawaii. He was my room mate as the staff pair us together because we both had the same challenges (Guillian-Barre syndrome) and we could share our concerns as we both move towards recovery.He was older by 15 years so I listen to his experiences, wisdom, and living life now attitude. I will never forget his many stories about sailing the South Pacific down to New Zealand and island hopping to the Cook islands, Marquesias, islands of Tahiti and back to Hawaii. The look in his eyes reflected his love for sailing whenever the subject came up. I remember a funny time at the hospital when we were given voting ballots for Hawaii and the funny thing is that we always made humor of politicians prior to election time. We agreed that the 2 dominant political parties did not offer a viable candidate that was worth voting for ( same story today). But there was a candidate. He was from the island of Molokai and a advocate of Marijuana comming from the Green party. His platform was for the people, not the party.So instead of wasting our votes, guess who we voted for.?? We shared many laughs, thoughts and aspirations and I nevergot bored. For some reason, I have been thinking of Bill these past several weeks until something led me to todays obituary section. Thanks Bill for sharing your lifes experiences with me in times of our recovery while in the hospital. I am forever grateful for your freindship........Alben Aduca
