Last week we started with daily posts of remembering Alex and the 240 episodes of Hawaii Five-0 on our Twitter and Instagram pages. We add quotes with it that also reflect on things about Alex and his career – some comments by others and some quotes from him as well.
Some of you are not on other social media and it might be a good idea to share it here as well …. and also to share it on our Facebook page from now on.
