Thanks for the interest but funny enough, I actually did grow up in Hawaii from 1946 to 1968 on Oahu, Kailua side. I went to St. Anthony's grade school (graduated 8th grade) close to Kailua Beach. Our house was on Kihapai Street which still stands to this day back near what was once a huge swamp known as 'Enchanted Lakes'. I understand it was all filled in and made into one gigantic housing estate. My Dad started 'Woods of Hawaii' around 1950. We left Hawaii in 1958 and moved to Hong Kong after the Hawaiian government protected the last remaining "Monkey Pod" trees (rain tree) and he decided to move East in search of 'monkey pod'. We moved to Thailand in 1964 and I have been here ever since. Cheers.
