Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Loraine was Bonni Brownlee's Aunt. She was half Hawaiian and half Portuguese, born and raised in Honolulu. When Bonni married David Croy, she immediately accepted him into the family, stating, "Dave could be my son-in-law." Loraine's grandfather was a ukulele maker and gave Loraine a pair of ukuleles as a wedding gift. She later gifted them to Dave for two reasons: she loved Dave and knew that he would respect the gift and heritage and actually learn to play. He did not disappoint.
