Thanks for the update!

Wow - Tom Dancer! You just stirred a memory...

Tom and my stepfather (Guanzon) worked at the same radio station (KNDI- Waipahu). Paul was late night, I think Tom was days.

They both had me enter a bathtub boat race out at...hmmm was it Kaneohe Marine base....in 1973-74. Paul built it himself and installed an old fashioned looking plexiglass bathtub in a custom speed boat.

Tom was a character. Sad to hear he passed. I can still remember his voice on the air, a littly gruffy something like George Carlin and Kris Kristopherson.

Okay he worked at KORL at the time of my "race." Ken Hutchinson worked at KNDI with Paul.

KNDI is on S. King Street and has been there for a while now as the Broadcast House of the Pacific across the street from Zippy's and next to Radio Shack.

Tom Dynamite Dancer. Didn't he die from throat cancer a while ago? Part of what you gotta pay for them deep pipes.

Yeah Paula Akana is married to Paul's brother Bobby, who used to work at KITV as a cameraman. He may still be there, but I've been out of touch with the family for several years. Last one I talked to was Paul's little sister Lisa - on the phone.

Re: Newscasters from long ago

hi this is sansei and in response to pearlcitymike,paul g isnt fromw what i've learned sometime ago,he isnt in the newsbusiness and he isnt a cameraman for kitv,he's moved on from there and if anyone wishes to know where former Kgmb'er Rob simpson is,he's working at a station in the mainland and so are most of the former Kgmb'er including Sabrina hall who just left and if you listen to kssk on the weekend's,you'd find Cindy Paliaricio doing the news and she's great to listen to and she remind's me of Midweek writer Mrs Linda delacruz is they have the same quality and the member who had the dream of me being taught hawaiian by the person i dislike the most who's on Kgmb as male-co-anchor,that's not lol.

Well thank's for your time

He did a great narration for a PATCH video a couple of years ago that's available free for rent at Blockbusters.

That is too bad, Rick and I have been in touch during the past year and the older you get it is harder to find work in television. He's been in San Fran for over 20 years now.
