*HH added in 2010: the PERS reference today is Public Employees Retirement System and the amount was my monthly pension. The amount now is some $200. Even better is my insurance coverage. Peaches is covered under STRS - StateTeachers Retirement System. That Kona Village was one of the nicer places that we ever stayed as it should be at that price.
