Thank you Loren, for introducing me to Leslie. Who knows what’s next.

My Life has always been interesting, now is no exception

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again!

Nobody’s perfect. Lon and Ling tried marriage for almost a year, but it didn’t work

Most folks would balk at starting a new life at 82.

Not me…

In 2024, I married Ling Chen, or maybe Mili Osato, well, it didn’t work out. The cultural and age difference was too great.

Who is this Ling?

Let’s call her Ling, after all, that’s what is on her driver’s license.

She was born in China and educated in Japan. She had a hard life and wound up in Honolulu. She had started a traditional Chinese medical business in Honolulu when I met her. She is young and beautiful, and has two sons. There is an interesting story related to each of these two sons. The picture at the top shows her son Kent and his lovely wife Bonny. Their son Tristan missed the photo because he was running around with his toy truck. His dad drives a real semi truck, but took time off to visit us.

Who is Lon?

Lon started a company a long time ago with his very smart wife Ellen. The company grew and provided Ellen and Lon with the resources to do many interesting things. Lon met Carol at a music and dance camp, and was smitten. Lon then married Carol. Carol and Lon moved to Hilo Hawaii. Carol passed away in 2022, and Lon was destroyed. He tried to find a new Carol, but there was no new Carol. Lon met Ling and started his new life. We tried our best, but it just wasn’t happening. We got divorced in less than a year.

The good news is that Lon gained a son! Kent is a treasure and is married to Bonnie and they have a son Tristan. Kent says Lon can keep him as his son, and Lon is delighted!
