Let us know when you finish the book, please. I've never been to Hawai'i - almost lived there 3 years ago, but happenstance took us to the PNW instead.
I love your nostalgic reminiscences. My father was a WWII vet also (but European theater.)
One of my sons recently spent some time there and came back shocked at the economic disparities and general hatred of tourists from the poor native population.
When I read news stories of people like Obama and the Zuckerbergs making nefarious moves in the Islands, cheating residents and bypassing laws in order to grab especially desirable properties, I can understand why our famed aloha spirit is wearing pretty thin.
