Curt McClain (1966)

My younger brother Marty passed away in March of last year in Hawai'i, where he had made his home ever since the family moved from Seoul. By the time he realized he was ill, he had stage 4 cancer in his lungs and liver. He kept thinking that he might beat it, and had a very full and active year right up until the month before he passed on. Marty had his own auction business in Honolulu and over the years had raised millions of dollars in support for the U of H alumni and athletic associations. I hadn't been to Hawai'i in years, but went out last spring to help carry Marty's ashes to the waves off the beach where we had played so much as kids. Aloha nui loa, Bra.

Dear Curt,

I don't think I knew your brother but I was one of your SAHS '66 classmates.  Thanks for sharing--I hope you find comfort and peace during this difficult time.

Regards,

Greg Dess
