Thanks Porpoise you are right. Once this is posted on TC it is not for a few tiki geeks on TC to view it, the whole world has access to it because it is on the web and with the most powerful search engine in the world, Google and it's e-spiders roam the web 24/7, the document can be found for anyone. This transcript is from the Watumull Foundation who donated some money so that their researchers could record personal oral histories of important people that were still alive in Hawaii in the early 70s (88 people I believe) than another 33 in the mid 80s like Donn. The Foundation sealed up all the recordings and distributed the transcript copies of the recordings to 3 locations, UH's Hamilton Library, the State of Hawaii Archive and the Library of Kamehameha Schools. Couple Librarians at Hamilton told be there are stipulations on circulation. These transcripts are now in a protected vault at Hamilton in the Hawaiian/Polynesian sub Library with other rare collections. I just happen to start my master studies under the Pacific Islands Studies, the day this part of the library reopened after some construction (this past Monday) all of which made me eligible to view this document and take notes on it. Of course this all started just after TikiTacky's inquiry of the subject on TC in the first place and Limbo Lizard dedication in finding out about this transcript. I believe in fate. The tiki god are indeed with us. There is more to this interesting story, again if anyone is truly interested please PM me.
