 Our Hawaiian Cookbook Memoir ...won First Prize in an International Competition. The judges explained that they had never seen such "fine writing in a cookbook." It is a real cookbook, not a recipe book; that is, it teaches you how to prepare the recipes. And there are 250 of them representing all six of the ethnic tables of Hawai’i (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, European and, Hawaiian). No need to have a separate cookbook for each cuisine. Our Authors ...have grown up in the Islands or have lived the major portions of their lives here. They bring to their writings, whether about boats and sailing, Hawaiin Regional Cuisine, or hula wahine and Hawaiian culture, a depth that allows the reader to be confident of the authenticity of their material. In addition to ...the authors Diamond Hawai’i publishes, we also feature other Hawaiian authors and playwrights whom you may now wish to experience. Wayne Moniz is an award winning writer who works out of Maui and appeals to many who may remember the islands of an earlier day when great white ships brought movie stars and other interesting personalities to our sandy shores.

And Bill has been at his art a long time. (Click for more ...) |

Pearl Harbor Naval Base in Hawaii is a pretty well known tourist destination, particularly by those old enough to remember WWII. The Bowfin submarine museum and the boat ride to the Arizona Memorial are standard stops after the Visitor Center museum. And arrangements can be made for those visits at any hotel in Honolulu. Even a side trip around to Ford Island, to the battleship Missouri, and the new Pacific Aviation Museum has become a regular part of the Pearl Harbor circuit.
The photo was grainy, as most newspaper photos were in 1941. The fact that it had been reproduced from one printed in a Honolulu daily two weeks before may have contributed to its poor quality. However, there was no mistaking the man and woman who stood in regal finery, hands raised in that half wave royalty seems to favor-hesitating to award a complete gesture of friendliness.
