ahouse…no worry. everyone did appreciate your efforts. you stepped up big time.
perhaps a part of your legacy will live on somehow as the new vision arrives.
the uhad had enough respect for you to let you know first hand.

RE:#40
A-House — I read your post with mixed reactions. One the positive side, there will be a new rock garden where there wasn’t one before. Without your efforts, what would be space be? Another positive is that you were alerted about the coming changes.

On the down side, I see Ben Jay as someone who has gotten “it” yet. Maybe someday. There are some local style attitudes and priorities that Ben Jay does not understand–that his predecessor, Jim Donovan knew and lived. But there is still hope for BJ yet.

I get this phone call from a guy named Kai from the UH Foundation and assigned to the UHAD.

He says BJ wants to seriously improve/upgrade the area fronting the athletic complex using a landscape architect (gratis) and donated materials and labor to complete the project. He tells me that the “rock garden” currently in place must go – they have not decided if they will trash the entire garden or move the plants elsewhere. Current garden does not meet BJ’s criteria of “whatever”.

So I tell Kai that the garden was built for UH and all the students attending UH-Manoa and if BJ feels that it’s below his expectations that they can do whatever they want.

Excellent photography, Tsai. And great, as usual, head line. Sons of a beach…
Go Rainbows. Now that would be a great backdrop to snap.

#36 don’t think the escapee is into that sort of thing if you know what I mean.
