On August 22, 1987 I had the sweet pleasure of Having
my picture taken with actor Tom Selleck! it was my last
day of living in Hawaii. so it made it even more special
we lived in Hawaii for 3 1/2 years it was Jeff's overseas
duty while he was in the U.S. Coast Guard anyway I had a job
as a reservationist in downtown Honolulu and I would
always see them filming the popular T.V. show Magnum P.I.
I watched that old t.v. show faithfully still even in reruns today.
The company I worked for gave awesome Christmas presents
to their staff and I got a three day all expense hotel stay at
the resort that was used in Magnum P.I. known in the show
as the Kamehameha Club it is really known as the Colony Surf.
The room was beautiful the kind of room only celebrities would stay
in with a panoramic view overlooking the volleyball quarts and
beach which is when Jeff noticed MR. Selleck getting ready to
go into the beach we ran down and when Tom got out of the Ocean
Jeff explained it was our last day there and that I was a big fan
and He agreed to take the photo it was one of many
high lights in my career as a military wife.
He was the first celebrity that I met and taken a photo with
the second was last month with country singer Taylor Swift.
we did not have any children when we lived in Hawaii
we had great memories and I loved the Hawaiian people
I learned so much, like how to make flower lei's and
to appreciate Hawaiian food. most of the locals as they are called
thought I was of Hawaiian descent. I have a friend who is pure
Hawaiian and still resides there and taught me some hula.
we keep in touch every year around Christmas time.
we are planning a trip to Hawaii after Kiel graduates
(funny note when Kiel was 2 years old he came across the
photo and thought Tom Selleck was a photo of daddy!
kids gotta love em!)
