FIRST PHOTO: Hale Makua staffer Edna Capa jokes with resident Olive Silva on Friday morning at a lei-making gathering for Memorial Day in front of the county building in Wailuku. The lei-makers worked together to make sure there were enough lei to place at least one on every grave at Maui Veterans Cemetery in Makawao for Monday’s Memorial Day ceremony.

SECOND PHOTO: Others assisting in the lei-making were Carol Willis (clockwise from front left), Kathy Rose, Julie Bridle, Linda Tesar-Amimoto, Louise Corpuz and Hue Oldham.
