Sir, a few years back I commented on your post of the Waikiki Terrace.. I'm not sure what drove me back there last night, but I spent the better part of the evening and this morning reminiscing of my days as a young boy with my 3 brothers on Oahu while my dad was stationed at Pearl Harbor from 1967-1971. From my mom taking me to Tripler Army hospital when I was sick, to the days spent at Richardson Pool jumping off the high dive while my little brother was being thrown in the deep end by a Marine named Smitty, to teach him how to swim, these were memories you helped unlock. My father passed about 20 years ago, my older brother passed a couple years ago and my two younger brothers were a little young to recall much of this. I'll be sharing this with my mom who always cherished her time there and never went back. I can't thank you enough for the memories. All the best, Rene

Kamaaina ... (is a(n anthropological ) word describing Hawaii residents regardless of their racial background.) Hello, I am from Sydney and now live in London. Went to Oahu many many times (on the way home ). Thank you for showing the lovely historic photos. Your being in Hawaii at that time is a very good thing; to have seen those popular areas and how excited everyone must have been, that resulted in the development of Waikiki and the State. Thank you for sharing your photo collection with us, we all on the Internet. Cheers ! ( edit my comment as you wish ) r.
