Our second residence on Oahu, in Pearl City. By my rough calculations we lived here from 1968 - 1972 or so.

The Sandalwood, in Honolulu, across from the Pagoda Hotel and Restaurant. I think we lived here less than a year (early 70's). My main memory of this place is that [url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0757138/]Harold "Odd Job" Sakata[/url] lived in the same building. He and my father became friends and we occassionally went over to his apartment.

Coty Towers, we lived here maybe a year, until '75 (?). A block from Ala Moana Shopping Center, behind the Holiday Mart (now Daiei), down the block from Tower Records (which didn't exist back then of course). Had a great view in those days, all the way to Dole's pineapple in Kalihi.

Went to elementary school here from 4th - 6th grades. Some painful memories (discussed in part [url=http://www.easterwood.org/hmmn/archives/000197.html#000197]here[/url]). On being back nearly 30 years later, couldn't get over the fact that I had gone to school in such a sublimely beautiful setting.

Memorial to my Uncle Gary who passed away in '89. My father and aunts scattered his ashes in the ocean, and planted a tree for him in Makiki Heights.
