Just before statehood and the first few years after. Never found one. Some of the books are downright insulting because of the poor production. I've even looked to see if UofH ever did anything, but nope.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-64645631382285400062010-08-07T08:12:26.616-11:002010-08-07T08:12:26.616-11:00What a wonderful idea.

Your collection is very precious.Lavender and Vanilla Friends of the Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05403418150146893599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-41022307894489819802010-08-05T05:22:13.920-11:002010-08-05T05:22:13.920-11:00Those are gorgeous photos.

Somewhere I have a photo of my folks in Hawaii - they were walking down the street, my mom in an orange mumu and my dad in a white guyavera style shirt, some photog took their picture for a few bucks - they are laughing and very young. I'll have to find that. :-) Thanks for the good memory.Norkiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14017387181655123770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-40761004692055619562010-08-04T05:23:57.571-11:002010-08-04T05:23:57.571-11:00Did it say "Dole" on it?

They'd go out behind the shed, pick a fresh one, chop it up, and hand it to you on a paper plate. Was pure heaven. I haven't tasted a good pineapple since I left there. The ones in stores are foul.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-3757158808736949742010-08-03T21:42:54.102-11:002010-08-03T21:42:54.102-11:00I had The Hawaiian Cookbook once. every recipe inc...I had The Hawaiian Cookbook once. every recipe included tinned pineapple.

The lost opportunities to make the place bicycle and pedestrian friendly are also very sad.<br />I used to live there, but I really didn't start properly exploring the islands until I moved away and went back on visits. There's still a lot to love. <br />P.S. I'll link back to your post, so people can see these too.Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.com
