Show Is A Tribute To Eddie Aikau

Eddie Wen’ Go: The Story of the Upside-Down Canoe, a tribute to Eddie Aikau, will take place Feb. 4-6 at University of Hawai‘i Kennedy Theatre.

Author/play- wright and former Hōkūle‘a crewmember Marion Ly- man-Mersereau was on that fateful voyage in 1978. Just search the internet for “Ed- die Wen Go” for tickets and I’ll see you there. Aloha and thank you for being here!
