Very wonderful video for me to see. Me -- white boy lived here 65/66. Three of us at the elementary school-- no black folk. Portuguese, Philopino, Samoan, Japanese, Chinese, True Hawaiians ...maybe a few more. Being white school had some ruff sides. the Actual Hawaiians were of course thee most Genteel. Shoes were not allowed on the playground to avoid accidents. - . To see Fujioka's store is just wonderful. I saw my first Coca Cola machine there on the right of the door. The kind of machine where the bottles roll out sideways to a glass door you could open!? To see Matsumoto.... Who I am pretty sure my school bus dropped him off at the shop and we would get Li Hing Mui and Ice... Put up some more ole pics. That locomotive doesn't look like the Green Train.... however my mind is fogged. www.google.com/maps/@21.5801299,-158.1522063,3a,75y,6.38h,69.26t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sB11HwuvfEkvm8t9cgycqzw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?entry=ttu
Grew up in mill camp next to the mill......Haleki St.......Dad drove hauler #6....WACO train #6 is at the Ewa historic train site. We weren't rich people but had a really nice childhood
Lovely!! Spent alot time there. White sand beaches..shoreline birds..turtles whales spouting..red hound dog followed me from parking lot and sat with me on the sand till sunset and went home. You can also watch glider planes passing overhead and ocean. Beautiful.
My dad is a retired mechanic from Waialua Sugar. We grew up in the cane fields Waialua. That's where we learned how to drive lol. 4 wheel driving as well. The best part was picking vegetables all over the fields. The workers were smart to plant vegetable seeds along the drip lines and reservoirs. Mahalo for this video. My dad is gone now. But this video sure did bring back some great memories.
Lo siento mucho que su papi ya no esté, con seguridad le puedo decir que debió de ser un gran padre y un hombre fuerte, veo video de ingenios desde Honduras y me han impresionado los Tonahauler, si tiene alguna dirección electrónica donde pueda ver los tournahauler de Waco le estaría muy agradecido
I saw this video after your classmate, Clyde, mentioned about you producing it. Thank you for your time and work to gather the photos and music. It is a great video. Aloha! K. Inouye Honolulu, HI
Great job, Dale! This is full of so many memories, it makes me quite emotional just watching this. I was stunned to see just how young Bill Paty is in this article! I'm forever grateful that we were able to move to Waialua when we did, to be a witness to all of these scenes, before they disappeared, forever! I never dreamed that would happen. I can still "smell" everything, when looking at all the photos of the Mill. Of course, this song, "Aloha O'e", gets me teary eyed every time, as well. The only thing that I don't understand is how could anyone give this a "thumbs" down??? That's crazy. Oh well, I don't really care, This is just AWESOME!!!! Mahalo for this great slide show of the history in our beautiful Waialua town. So proud to call Waialua my hometown!
Grew up as a teen 60's NS and never forget hearing the massive trucks working all night long and the smell of burning sugar.
Good memories Sea View Inn 60's and the rest mostly gone. Mahalo for this treasure.
A lifetime ago. Arigato!❤

Sugar built Hawaii. Now they build houses in Hawaii but it ain't for you.
I remember going to the last company party in Waimea Valley. This video bring back so much memories of when my dad worked there. Mahalo
