| Introduction | I am one among millions of baby boomers born in pre-statehood Hawaii. I come from AMFAC sugar plantation roots watching the "green flash" on the ocean horizon as atomic bomb testing in the Pacific Ocean atolls during the post World War II era went unknown to us. I grew up on the rural island of Kauai listening to slack-key guitar music played by Hawaiian beach boys at Kalapaki Bay and the big band sounds of the 1940's and 1950's. Very fond of ancient Hawaiian culture and the Hawaiian people. It was a different time and place. I write to reflect. I write to remember before I forget. |
