Auwe, I meet Guy some years ago at work with IATSE. I asked him if was related to Maiki Aiu. He said she is my mom. I replied, my grandmother and your mom were close hula sisters and taught by Kumu Hula Lokalia Montgomery. We became instant friends.
Love, Aloha and Blessings to the ohana.
If possible, i would like to attend his Celebration of Life gathering.
