Re: KGMB Memorabilia
I wonder if that fly is still taped to the sound proof tiles in the studio (I believe it's now a storage room) where Aku did his morning radio show. His studio was this small booth with a desk, chair, mic and telephone. One day someone trapped a fly with scotch tape and taped it to the wall to the left of the glass window. Then somebody wrote on the wall the Latin name of the fly.Life is what you make of it...so please read the instructions carefully.

Re: KGMB Memorabilia
I think what was not sold will either be given away or thrown in the dumpster from conversations I had with them. I'd say 3/4 of what was up for auction were your standard office items, i.e. desks, chairs, file cabinets, typewriters, etc. Stuff left were camera lights, lots of Duke and Don Ho photos, some posterboards, promo signs, etc. A large Checkers & Pogo sign was not bid on, a surprise to many, but you would have to put it in your garage or make room in your house for it as it was huge. I'm sure you can contact the auction house to see what is left of the remaining items and what they will actually do with the remaining items.
Billy V, Manke, Nick Carter, Blangiardi and a few others were at the auction.
I went out of curiosity more than anything else and it gave many of us a final chance to walk thru that historic building as a good portion of it was open.

Re: KGMB Memorabilia
A giant piece of KGMB memorabilia is coming down, piece by piece. The iconic KGMB broadcast tower is being demolished.

For years the tower stood out at night in the Honolulu skyline, emblazoned with the neon call letters "KGMB" and "AKU," for KGMB's popular disc jockey J. Akuhead Pupule, aka Hal Lewis.
"It's been such a landmark, and I'm sad to see it go," said Brock Whaley, radio personality and broadcast historian. "A lot of people think they're an eyesore, but I like towers."I'm still here. Are you?
