Focus on Windward Oahu

Kailua Historical Society met July 7 at Faith Baptist Church to hear about ways local kids amused themselves before e-gadgets and organized sports leagues. A panel of old-timers discussed this, followed by the swearing in of new officers, who were introduced by state Rep. Cynthia Thielen (below, in red dress). They are (from left) Sandy Adamson, Stanley T. Kanetake, Chuck Burrows, Emily Hawkins, Jan Wakamatsu, Irish Ritchey, Carol Brede, Ed Geaney and Paul Brennan.
