Names that I had not thought of for some time:

Bruce Voss, Channel 2 (went off to law school)
Chris Parsons, Channel 2 also? (went off to seminary and is an ordained Episcopal minister, but is also active as a PR strategist, among other things)

What about Russell Shimooka? He went to KARE 11 Minneapolis for a while and I think went back home right?

Denise Cannon

Malia Mattoch

Jon Yoshimura (now with Senator Akaka's office)

In the years since he left KHON, Chris spent a big chunk of his time working for Jeremy Harris, both as campaign spokesperson and deputy corporation counsel.

I believe he's now on staff at Becker Communications.

1970's KHON: Al Allen, Scott Shirai, Ken Wilson (sports)

Al Allen did the "On the Move" segments flying around to parts of the island doing various reports for KHON. He tragically died in a plane crash he piloted in 1973.

Re: Where they stay now?

Just saw Reid on TV last night. Word is Russell Yamanoha just left to pursue a career in real estate.

You know, it's odd to think about but up here, a majority of the news people have a career in real estate as well, there is this one old timer on the ABC affiliate up here that is also an ordained Minister.

We've had some local Honolulu tv people move into the ministry, Dan Chun and Steve Braham off the top of my head.

...
Glenn Wakai "Former State Representative"

Uh, former?

I'm one of his constituents (who receives the newsletter!) and he easily won re-election last year.
