Aikau — The descendants of Agnes Aikau and Lucy Aikau are having a family reunion Aug. 4-6, 2006, on Maui. For more information, eall Cami DePonte at 808-357-0496; Alexa Kahui at 808-281-8430; or email akkahui@yahoo.com. Noreen Arnold — We are seeking any information on Noreen Amold, who was the daughter of Charles Amold, mayor of Honolulu in the late 1920s. She was an unwed mother in 1946 and was required to put her child up for adoption. We have a picture of her as a poster model at a kama'āina establishment known as "KauKau Comer." Ihe information she provided to the social worker on the biological father of child was recorded. Both Noreen and the biological father were of Hawaiian and Caucasian descent. Noreen was last known to have moved to Califomia, perhaps the Hollywood-area, in the late 1940s or early 1950s. Noreen would be about 75 to 77 years old today. Perhaps she is still living, and could give us a eall. Or if any of her ffiends or family have information, we would surely like to hear ffom them soon. Call Keanukai at 808-349-7509.
