Off the ambulance, and now a dispatcher. Our radio dispatching was located in the main police station on Beretania St inHonolulu. We had many sub-stations located through out the island.

Before returning to their respective stations after an emergency run, our paramedics would pay us a visit. Our radio room was their favorite meeting place. Since we couldn't go out, our "angels of Mercy" went on meal runs for us*S*

George - fellow dispatcher and friend of many years. Now retired, he still lives in Hawaii, and we manage to keep in touch by E mail.

Break time and a phone call. By this picture, I was still doing ambulance runs. I devoted much of my time with the department and I loved every day of those years I was in.
