In Memoriam

Hawaiian activism, particularly on the Island of Hawaii, lost two intelligent, articulate and courageous Hawaiian warriors recently with the deaths of Wayne Westlake, 36, of injuries received in an auto accident, and Col. Arthur Chun, 70, of heart ailment. Just last August both men, along with other members of Ka Lae Ohana, took OHA Trustees Piilani Desha and Moses Keale on a tour of the South Point area, enthusiastically identifying and explaining a number of valuable historic sites on Hawaiian Homes Land. Both men were knowledgeable on the issues of South Point as well as environ-

mental and historical preservation problems of Kona, where Chun lived. and the volcano area, where Westlake made his residence. Both were outspoken advocates of their respective positions and gave freely of their energies to that whieh they believed. They deeply loved the 'aina and that spirit radiated through their work. While we mourn our own loss at their departure from this earth, we eommemorate the inspiration and enlightenment of their lives. And as they join our ancestors, we send condolences to their families. Aloha Arthur! Aloha Wayne!
