Love these 2 guys ever since they were little kids. Now they’re all grown up and taking charge of the Aipa name. One day I’ll share a story with them about they’re father Ben, and how much he told me he cared about them and sister Lokelani. Akila on the left is a total class act human being and so proud of how he turned out, and good hearted Duke, when he was a little kid, I always smiled and laughed, just a natural at everything he did.
