Abstract

Description

John Hanalei Palos was born in Wailuku, Maui in 1961, and raised in Maui until later in life when he moved to Waikoloa. After graduating from Lahainaluna, he attended UH Hilo, and then worked and played music with his friend Earl. Earl Victor Kalawa‘ia was also born in Maui, raised in Kahului. He also attended UH Hilo after attending Lahainaluna, and worked and plays music with John. They both recall fond memories of playing football for Lahainaluna as well as working different jobs around campus. One of their most notable legacies that they left was starting the music group, “Sour Poi”, which continued on for years after they left Lahainaluna. John and Earl were roommates at Lahainaluna, and attribute their strong friendship to their boarding experiences.
