I have met Archie and he is the most humble and kindest person ever
I remember Archie in action when Hurricane Iniki came rolling through. He jet skied through close-outs, to save 8 folks stuck on their boats. Salt water in his veins, Kalepa speaks Oceanese. Leader/Ambassador of Good Will from 5 generations this Chief Water Safety Officer for Maui County, this go to person is clearly blessed. ...........Sup
