Abstract
My first and earliest encounter with Hawai'i was as a child, age unremembered,
listening to the old Sears Roebuck radio spilling forth, in a cold, wintry, New England,
"Webley Edwards' Hawai'i Calls." Instead of buying only the platters ofElvis,
a teenager PBG bought Hawaiian records-one still owned. l Ah, Hawai'i called, and
like so many ancestral New Englanders (Father Bond of Hallowell, Maine and
Kohala was an ancestral neighbor), I too answered the call. Arriving in August,
1969, with the 69th Ph.D. degree in Anthropology awarded by the University of
Arizona, I must have been an outrageous malihini, and along with Dave Tuggle a
year later, part of the new archaeologists come "like invading hippies" who
"stormed and raided ... our [Bishop Museum] storehouse and ... such knowledge
as is lodged in the brains of our staff" as argued by that venerable doyen of
kamaaina, Keneti, in a 1971 memo.2 No flowered aloha shirt, but flowered bellbottom
pants-what can one expect?
