Bray. The One Team culture is the soul of Iolani not only in athletics but in each and every student's life at Iolani and beyond. Coach Hamada not only preached the culture but tirelessly continue to embody it in the Iolani community. Coach Hamada who never sought publicity did consent to being interviewed and filmed for the One Team documentary. Coach told members of the Iolani Raiders Boosters Club (which is undertaking this project) that he wanted our future Iolanian generations to be able to understand and learn of the One Team Culture and urged us to complete this documentary. You can see Coach's trailer at the Iolani Raiders Boosters Club facebook page or on U Tube We ask all of you to join in with Coach to support and complete this documentary.

It is another very important reminder of how Coach Hamada lived the 'Iolani One Team spirit through his actions on and off of the field. You did a great job with this and it is wonderful to hear Mrs. McKibbin's voice again too. Well done. Thank you Courtney for bringing this story to us.

You brought a lump to my throat as you shared your story about the McKibben/Hamada familes. Isn't it amazing how the aloha spirit reaches across the world! Thank you for sharing your story. Eddie is smiling down on you and Mrs. McKibben...two more people he brought together. Courtney…those first grade journal passages we did each afternoon paid off.

We all came to know Mr. Hamada in our own way, but your story of Sheila McKibbin's experience really packs in so much of what a generous soul he was. Write on! Courtney,

]]> Comment on A love note to the symphony by Tim Leong http://www.imuaonline.org/top-stories/2009/12/21/a-love-note-to-the-symphony/comment-page-1/#comment-2502 Tim Leong Mon, 28 Dec 2009 22:12:08 +0000 http://www.imuaonline.org/?p=763#comment-2502 Thank you Akari for such a beautiful letter. I know that I speak for all my colleagues in the symphony when I say that your appreciation and love of music is what binds us all and gives us the strength and the courage to move forward. Like you I grew up in the symphony audience never dreaming that one day I would be a member of such a fantastic group of musicians. This would have been my 29th year with the orchestra; each and every year I looked forward to having some of our talented youth from our community join our ranks in the professional level. I hope that our community and its leaders will find a way to continue to make this possible for our orchestra and especially for our youth. Your sentiments, which I am sure are shared by many in this community, are the most powerful reason for us to work towards that goal! Thank you Akari for such a beautiful letter.
