About Dave Oney

Dave Oney was born mid last century in Middlebury, Vermont. He received his BS in Chemistry and worked as a polymer chemist in Massachusetts and New Jersey. He became a microscopist (someone who studies little bitty things using a microscope) and photomicrographer (someone who photographs little bitty things) before settling into a 35-year career in technical sales of scientific imaging equipment (the science of digitally recording itty bitty things, sending the image to a computer for analysis.) He designed and created a number of products contributing to this field. He is (was) proficient in several computer languages and is currently working on mastering English. After making a few more paradigm shift career changes Dave and his wife, Fran, retired and moved closer to their children and granddaughters and now live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas.

You say Hello and I say HI (Aloha)

We left the Bay Area early Thursday morning on our way to Kauai. Traffic was light at 7:45 AM, but it made no difference to us anyway, just as the fog—how does that go, Carl? “The fog comes on cats little cat feet”—didn’t slow us. We had comfortable accommodations for the 5+ hour trip across the Pacific, until…

Land Ho! and we descended onto the “The Garden Isle” of sun, surf and sand.

And in homage to our friend Kimokeo Kapahulehua, a traditional wa’a (canoe) in the hotel lobby.

A week of sights to see, food to feast and excitement to enjoy.

Stay tuned!!
