IT WAS A ROUGH ROAD BUT ALL SEATBELTS WERE FASTENED. Thank goodness for

your patience because SOSC BOD and SOHSC "'da hui" cut a Sweetheart Deal

today, just in time for February's merger between California and Haw'n surfing

in a show of solidarity. TEAM/BIGKOOK cried "Uncle" without a whimper.

From now on in the BIGKOOK'S Bamboo Fields and Banana Plantation will

be redesignated Hawaiian Gardens, featuring sounds from the 'da hui

like windchimes, mynah birds, jungle drums, slack key guitar, Webley

Edwards and Hilo Hattie's "very best of" Hawaii Calls from the Moana

Hotel. Conch music will replace the mourningful Wednesday twilight

concerts, featuring off key ukeleles and sour guitar notes. It will be an

all Hawaiian repetoirre for all to enjoy. THEBIGKOOK, new Kahuna for

the SOHSC, will be Master of Ceremonies, Sarge Keefer is the

Sergeant at Arms, Birdman Williams is the SOHSC Yeoman

working mano a mano, so to speak, with Jim Kempton for the First

Annual SOHSC Yearbook. For the remainder of calender year 2004

BIGKOOK shall carry the "nom de surf", Blah KOOK. Return from SANO

and feast your huge, reddish eye on the complete summer program.
