It was not a direct journey from Montana to Hawaii, but once here, Doris has made Hilo her home Doris Smith for over 32 years. Doris and her husband, Dick raised two sons here in this community.



Doris enjoys swimming and reading books. A former teacher, she believes you can take the teacher out of the classroom, but not from books and continual learning.



Community service is a priority for Doris. She has helped establish a day care center, volunteered for United way and was a community mediator. She uses those same mediation skills to negotiate successful results for her clients.
