Thank you for your contribution to our athletes. I know the Nagatani Center has served a number of our student athletes accomplishing their goal to study, research and graduate with a degree from UH. When I was there all we had was the Student Union up campus center, Sinclair and Hamilton Library with pretty much “you are on your own” to get it done.

When I come back to Hawaii I plan to visit the Nagatani Center and stay a whole day enjoying life on upper campus. Good times going to school and walking all over Manoa while attending class. Love graduating and still have my degree proudly displayed in my house on my office wall.

Thank you, Mr. Nagatani, for your gracious contributions toward the success of our university and athletics program.

ST and or papajoe2:

What was his area of study?

Curious to know how what drew him away from East Coast to live here in Hawaii.

One night for dinner, they sat us on a table of 10, but unfortunately, the other guests either had their meal or already ordered it. One couple stayed with us until we finished eating. When they asked us where we were from, we told them we were from Hawaii. They said that they never been to Hawaii. The gentleman then asked my wife and I if we heard of his classmate of 1 year in elementary school that had worked and taught at UH and did good things there. His name was Bob Nagatani. Wow, what a small world! He then told me that Bob had passed away about a year prior and he couldn’t believe that I not only knew him, but we also attended his funeral. He was our steersman for Waikiki Beach Boys Canoe Club’s novice crew and hung around Waikiki beach with us. He later moved to the Big Island and was an aide to mayor Dante Carpenter. Then returned home to Honolulu where he hung out at the beach again, whenever he had free time. Bob made sure that us “little people,”real beachboys,” were invited to the opening ceremony. I felt uncomfortable because we had to dress up and most of the people there were “well to do.” In his speech he mentioned that it was his dream that UH would have an outrigger canoe paddling team and mentioned everyone of us by name. I was so proud. Alas, his dream never came through, yet. True story.
