On my Diamond Head walks I always pass by my old school Kaimuki Intermediate which not only has changed its name to “Kaimuki Middle School” but judging by the words adorning the library, alumni no longer call themselves “Pioneers” but call themselves ‘Voyagers” nowadays….
Lots of other changes since I was a lad, with new structures, new sun-shielding coverings and big new gymnasium! But the place still looks grassy and sunny and, attached to Leahi Field, makes for a pleasant walk!
Guess I’m not the only one who realized how picturesque the school was, as I saw it in a photobook for Japanese actress /gravure model Yuno Ohara when she came to Hawaii!
Skimming through the pictures, I had to stop when I saw her walking along the very same sidewalk that I walk all the time, laugh and say, “HEY, I’d know that Middle School anywhere!!"
