Dear faithful quizarians,
“Summertime, and the living is easy, fish are jumping…” If you remember that song, you probably will do well on some of the old-time subjects (including a fishy one) in this edition of my quiz. So put on your thinking caps and mantillas and have a go at it. Best of luck, and thanks again for all your kind words. Send your comments to herald@rcchawaii.org. Happy Sts. Peter and Paul Day!
