Aloha!
I was searching Google.com using my name and your website 
listed me as
an Eagle Scout, 1972. I was thrilled!

Here's some more information for your history archives:

Graduate, U.S. Naval Academy, 1978
Scoutmaster, Troop 1, Honolulu, HI (1986- 1989). Troop 1 is 
one of the
6 oldest troops in the U.S. (a friend of Baden Powell lived 
in Hawaii
and brought scouting to the famous Punahou School in the 
early 1900's).
Troop 1 makes a Summer expedition each year. 

In 1988 we went to S. Korea and completed our 50 mile hike 
requirements
in Soraksan National Park. The Scouts trained themselves to 
set up and
take down camp in 10 minutes flat. On our way back, we 
stopped over in
Hong Kong, took a half day tour and scouted out the city 
for one night
before flying back to Honolulu.

In 1986, we hiked across the island of Kauai. We hiked 
across the
entire mountain range bisecting Kauai (18 miles) in one day 
and we
slept in some farmer's cowshed which was fortunately 2 
stories - the
cows came in after dark and stayed all night. We were so 
tired nothing
could have bothered us anyway. We arrived in Hanalei on the 
famous
Napali coastline of Kauai (North Shore), and rode the 11 
miles along
the treacherous Napali coastline on Zodiak boats, even 
daring to zoom
into some of the sea caves, riding the rollers in, and then 
timing our
exit so that we wouldn't get pounded into the cave ceilings 
on our way
out. The zodiacs dropped us off offshore from the remote 
Kalalau Valley
state park where we camped for several days. We had to swim 
in to shore
from about 100 yds out, floating our gear in front of us as 
the zodiacs
couldn't land on the beach (state regs). We qualified for 
swimming
merit badge and the other swimming requirements in a 50- 60 
foot wide
beach cave that had enough water in it to fill an olympic 
sized pool.
There was a perfect diving platform on one side; the water 
in there was
about 6 feet deep, and extended back into the darkness. 
Water
constantly dripped from the rocky ceiling after a 20 year 
journey
through the rocks above, and kept a constant water level in 
the cave.

There was a lady that swam the 11 miles to Kalalau Valley 
from Hanalei
each day. She wore only a gold chain around her waist. The 
chain had
precisely 400 tiny links - but I wasn't really counting... 
and she rode
back on the Zodiac boats in the afternoon. She caused quite 
a stir...
We also ran into several other people who doffed their 
clothes at that
remote park - but nobody seemed to care after the first 10 
minutes of
shock and curiosity.

We built the troop from 3 or 4 active scouts to more than 
40 and I had
a gas, staying out of their way as they ran the troop just 
beautifully.

I left the navy about that time as a lieutenant, 
specializing in
tactical warfare and got ito the real estate business, and 
had no more
time to be a Scoutmaster. Today we purchase and develop 
property. We
also run the Waialua ("Y-Loo-uh")Coffee Farm, 3rd largest 
in Hawaii. 

Again, I was delighted to find your website. Hope you had 
as good a
scouting experience as I did - it was filled with wonderful 
memories
and unforgetable experiences, and hikes and campouts all 
over the
Cascades and Olympic Mountains - and a lot of first place 
finishes in 
Camporee competitions. 

If you or any of troop 48 alums ever get to Hawaii, let me 
know. I'd
love to meet you. Next time in Olympia, I may visit one of 
the Scout
meetings.
