Aloha Oe Karen Turner

The volunteers and HMSRTO would like to send out a warm Aloha Oe to one of our newest and extremely dedicated volunteers.


Karen Turner called, filled out her profile and showed up on the beach all in the same day shortly after June 29th, 2010. Her reason was a beautiful little pup that would grow up to become Ua'Malie of the North Shore.

 Since those first few days, Karen has been a stalwart and emergency responder there at Turtle Bay. Her loyalty to learning about monk seals and her willingness to take ANY and sometimes numerous shifts has endeared her to us all. Within no time she became very well educated and jumped into any task that was asked of her.

The reason we wanted to give Karen this special recognition is that she is leaving us to return to her Winter home in Miami. We look forward to her return in the Spring (Karen that's pupping season) and wish her Aloha Oe. Until we meet again. Mahalo nui loa for your 18 weeks of dedication in watching over Ua'Malie. We could not have done this task so successfully without your help.

Dana & The Volunteers
 We'll miss you Karen... until next year.

Aloha Karen! I really enjoyed spending time with you on Ua Malie duty and making a new friend. I will miss you while you're away and will look forward to your return next year. All the best and keep practicing that hula. Diane

Aloha Karen!
"Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean I'll miss you
Until we meet again!"
Have a safe trip

Hi Karen! I had the delightful pleasure of meeting you at the site of Ua Malie. Your a great photographer, a strong walker, a very nice soul. Although we didnt spend a whole lot of time together, I was glad to have met. Sometimes in life, you meet a person and you know, that person is a great human being with heart. Have a great safe journey and maybe we will meet again with another pup! Barbara and Robert
