Small eyes; big smiles. Happy birthday to Kaipo Thomas, who’s an inspiring athlete, volleyball coach, Waipuna pastor, fisherman and friend — who I’ve been been blessed to know since high school days. He’s been an anchor for many of us in the local community. We are grateful that you’ve shown us how to serve others well!
