Aloha,

The treehouse was also at one time a broadcasting studio for KCCN-AM. Aku J. Pupulehead and Krash Kealoha broadcast from there in the 1950's. Harry Duncan of Territorial Airwaves relates a tale of how "Krash" got his nickname related to the treehouse.

Not so long ago, I went searching for it, as the Treehouse supposedly perserved by Cox Radio (KCCN is owned by them) in one of their storage lockers with one of the engineers. Sadly, it was not in that locker. I have not given up the search as apparently there are other lockers to look in...

P.S. I wish this thread was in the General Forum...
