Lani was a river guide for 30 years.  I enjoyed sitting down with him and his wife, Bonnie, to talk about their memories of his time guiding river trips.  Lani was a school teacher for many years and guided rivers in the summers.
His memory is impressive for his age, 81 and going strong!  I am grateful to have captured parts of his life on the river.  I know you will be too once you hear his stories.  My son told me one of his stories was one of the "greatest things" he has ever heard.  Tune in and find out for yourself.  Please visit my instagram account, Rivergirl Radio for photos. Enjoy Lani.
