A co-worker who grew up on the islands was offered a job. The concern was that she was coming from California. They wanted someone that would stay. When this Haole let them know she grew up near Hilo and her parents, brother and his wife live there they were Ok with extending the job offer. It turned out that the offer wasn't as financially rewarding as she would have liked so she stayed on at our Hospital. Just shows you that many people won't stay as nice as it is.
