On a sad note, actor/comedian Noriyuki "Pat" Morita passed away last week. I have no doubt that his life story will be made into a movie, someday. It is an inspiring tale of overcoming both physical and soul draining obstacles. From spinal tuberculosis to being "intered" in an Arizona camp during World War II. From working in the computer industry to the early days of trying to break into an entertainment business that was/is mostly white skinned to being nominated for an Academy Award(tm). His life is an inspiration to all and reflects the best of the human spirit. May he rest in peace.
Aloha!
