Alzheimer's Caregiving
Jul 21, 2025
Tony Vericella is the founder of Alzheimer’s Caregiving & The Caregivers, a digital community created to support families caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s and related dementias. After his wife Dana was diagnosed in 2018, Tony's journey as a caregiver led him to recognize the overwhelming challenges families face. Drawing from his extensive leadership experience in Hawai‘i’s hospitality and events industries—and a deep desire to make caregiving more navigable—Tony launched this evolving resource hub to equip, connect, and uplift caregivers with practical tools and shared experiences. |

Jane Goodsill shares her favorite antidotes from her Voices of Hawai`i books
Jul 28, 2025
Bio for Jane Marshall Goodsill For Jane Marshall Goodsill, Voices of Hawai`i began as a labor of love. A kama`āina ("child of the land," native-born) accomplished in the art of oral history, she began interviewing Island residents. Avocation soon became vocation. As Goodsill's joy in recording these life stories grew, so too did her pool of subjects: business executives, war veterans and POW's, retired plantation managers, Island entertainers, conservationists, retailers, ranchers activists, judges, journalists and so many others. Taken together, their oral histories told a fascinating, behind-the-scenes tale of Hawai`i's journey from the World War II era into the 21st century. These were people who had in some way, large or small, impacted Hawai`i's destiny, and Goodsill soon realized that the treasury of anecdotal history she had assembled was too rich to keep to herself. Her voluminous interview transcripts were too weighty for a single volume and better suited for historical archives. But the best of these candid interviews - compelling tales of deals made and glass ceilings shattered, of ancient ways revived and legacy lands preserved - were gathered together under the themes of Island life: history, race, land use, art and music, philanthropy, development and the spirit of aloha. This is Voices of Hawai`i, Jane Goodsill's unique anthology of oral history, a rare collective view of a society in transition. |
