Now that there's a little distance between now and the sad event

I can tell you my clearest memory of Don Ho.

Actually, it's not of him per se, as much as it's of his name. Back in the late Seventies, National Lampoon put out a personality test (and you know how I love personality tests) called "Are You a Homo?" in which one of the answers to the question, asked by your Uncle Moe, "Who's your favorite singer?" was "Don Ho, Moe."

The test was morally non-judgmental, so you could feel perfectly comfortable choosing that answer.

Update: Some corroboration. And, I'm sure they've got it archived on their website somewhere. I've already wasted too much of my LifeForce on the subject.
