Manoa

I first visited the University of Hawaii (UH) campus in Manoa in 1968 when I went to stay with my mother for a couple of weeks when she was a dorm mother at Frear Hall, then a single storey building. In the 1970s I attended UH at Manoa full time until I graduated with an engineering degree in 1979. Since I have retired I have explored much more of the Manoa Valley.

in the fall of 1968. People were proud of their new Kennedy Theater and the new East-West Center across the street.
