Dedication

To Tom Winnett, who gave me the chance of a lifetime and who has bravely endured the consequences, which include having to expertly edit the resulting manuscripts. Thank you. (Tom Winnett is the Publisher Emeritus of Wilderness Press.)

Acknowledgments

Ken Luke and Wellington Kao, both Oahu natives now “exiled” to California, shared their memories of Oahu and of their favorite hiking trails and childhood haunts. Dan Masaki, born on Kauai and another “exile” on the mainland, shared many stories of Hawaii, including the story of Benny Kanahele (ssss1).
