Harry Achilles ’60 retired to Texas to be near his daughter and step family. He reports that he’s in good health and traveling frequently: “I try to get back to the islands annually, usually to Kauaʻi.”

Montie Cooke ’63, writes to say: “Teaching meditation and Tibetan Buddhist wisdom teachings to Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s Eat to Live Retreat at Rancho Santa Fe, CA.

Bill Koch ’65 says “Debby and I have been busy. This fall I gave a talk on the history and restoration of the statue of Kamehameha at Kapaʻau. We traveled to England for the Opening of the Legal Year in London and for a side trip to Chartwell. The holidays found us in New York. We’re working on returning to Hawaiʻi this year.

70s:

Dale Lawrence ’73 shares that in June of 2020, “I moved my mother from a home in Oregon back to our home in Waimea and am now taking care of her. She is so happy to be back! I’ve retired from being a medical coding consultant with Kaiser Perm in Oregon and a real estate agent in California and am enjoying life with Mom. I now have eight grandchildren from three of my amazing four children and miss them dearly as they all live in Oregon.”

Nicole (Bates) Vincent ’90

is a luxury real estate broker at Venture Sotheby's International Realty specializing in properties in Waimea and on the Kohala Coast, with a new office at Mauna Kea Beach Resort. A proud boy-mom, Nicole’s two sons have attended HPA since kindergarten — keeping the Bates ʻohana legacy alive and thriving! (Nicole’s sister, Alexandra (Bates) Hustace ’94, is the Lower School art instructor and Isaacs Art Center education specialist; and her father, Michael Bates ’58, was a residential student from Maui who sadly passed away two years ago.) HPA has always held a sweet spot in her family’s hearts, and Nicole says it has been extremely rewarding to now have her children attend their alma mater. Dylan ’26 is in the ninth grade, and she has been enjoying getting to experience Upper School athletics with him. Her youngest, Luke ’28, who is in the seventh grade, loves sports too, and ʻukulele class, and he is also looking forward to Upper Campus life. When not in Waimea, where Nicole and her husband, Shane, are currently building a new home, the family is likely to be spotted aboard their 27-foot boat Lokelani Maru practicing sustainable fishing.
