So you knew Madelyn and Stanley when they were living in the home at 2277 Kamehameha Ave., which according to Jr’s own words was the first home they lived in when they moved to HI? I refer to pg 39 of his book when he writes about his father’s visit in 1971 when they took walking tours. “We took short walks past the private landmarks of a family, ... where they showed me my grandparents’ first house in Hawaii, before the one on University Ave.(2234 University Ave.)a house I had never known...” Following what we know about Sr (that he was recuperating from one of his many car accidents, this one in which he had injured his leg which meant he was using a cane), there is no way he and Jr could have walked the 14 mile return trip to a home (the address listed in the birth announcement at 6085 Kalanianaole Hwy located 7 plus miles from UH)we know wasn’t associated with the family. We know that the house at Kamehameha Ave was within walking distance of the apt at S. Beretania St.
