Chris was one of the. nicest people I have ever known. We worked together at Aloha Airlines from 1989 until her retirement. Chris taught me so many tricks about working at the HNL terminal and about how to get along in a male dominate environment in those days. I will always cherish Chris's kindness and friendship! Besides all of the above, I envied her stamina, the fact that she could ride her bike from Moanalua Road up Kaahumanu street to the top and back! Truly amazing! She was a one of a kind friend and I will surely miss her.
