A Lifetime of Thanks
I’ve been thinking long and hard about an appropriate post in honor of Thanksgiving. Then last week I joined my wife for an alumni reception for her college, Loyola Marymount University in LA. It’s called the “Princeton of the Pacific” and one of their biggest donors has been William Hannon, as evidenced by several buildings named after him on the campus. But I got to read a story in a publication about the new William H. Hannon Library. After reading the story, I knew I would use it as my Thanksgiving post.

On the Passing of Regent Emeritus Wayne Panoke
As you know, my big claim to fame is having served on the University of Hawaii Board of Regents, as the third student regent. The very first student regent, under the law that specifically provided for a student member, was Wayne Kahoonei Panoke. Most people call him Kahoonei, but I have always called him Wayne because that’s how we were introduced. His association with the University of Hawaii started before I met him in 1998 and his commitment to and involvement in the Hawaiian community started long before then. One of the ways former regents, or more formally Regents Emeriti, stay connecte

Is it a “Contest” if Only One Person Enters?
Last week, I wrote a post on a contest to give away Google Wave invites. At the time, I thought these were highly coveted, or at least more desirable than most invites of this sort. As you can tell from the title of this post, I only received one entry, so maybe these aren’t as sought-after as I was led to believe. Granted, I did receive two comments, but the first one didn’t follow the guidelines for the contest, so was disqualified. Don’t worry, I told I replied and told him to review the contest rules to enter. So, by default, the other entrant,

Catch a Wave – A Google Wave
OK, before I start my new post, I have to ask, did anyone catch my reference in my title? If you’re a political junkie, today’s title probably sounded familiar – and that was intentional. Catch A Wave is the title of a 1973 book written by Tom Coffman, which Honolulu Weekly described as, “a knowing, insiders’ account of
