Oh good grief, is this memory lane day? M’s was also down the lande next to the Castle and Cooke bldg. where I worked a zillion years ago – loved their sandwiches. Your uncle and Kent B. would have been coming into C&C on business since Matson was a subsidiary and ran the waterfront. C & C also owned Kohala Sugar, Ewa and Waialua plantations, Dole Cannery, Hawaiian Equipment Co., etc., etc. Maybe HC&S in Aiea. Days of the Big Five! Genie Pitchford hung out with my Dad’s youngest brother and things were always lively when they were around. jk

Was on a field trip to the Star-Bulletin Bldg. when the vote for Hawaii Statehood came through on the teletype (I think it was called that). Was a most memorable field trip and I would think about it from time to time when I walked passed the bldg. during my “working” years. Thanks for sharing all these great photos from your mom’s collection. Really a trip down memory lane.

I don’t know what my brain tripped over to come up with Richards Street. Merchant. Merchant.
