In this episode, host Jeffrey Rich dives into a fascinating conversation with Dr. Douglas Askman about the rich history of the Aloha Tower in Hawaii and the exciting plans for its centennial celebration. They explore the tower's iconic status as a landmark, its pivotal role during the maritime era and World War II, and the vibrant stories that surround it.
Dr. Askman shares insights into a collaborative project with students that aims to breathe new life into the narratives of the tower and the harbor area. This initiative seeks to captivate the community and boost tourism by connecting historical tales to the present day. The discussion is filled with enthusiasm about the future plans for the tower's 100th anniversary in 2026.
We invite you to join us on this journey! If you have stories about the Aloha Tower, please share them with Dr. Douglas Askman at daskman@hpu.edu. Your contributions can help bring history to life and make the centennial celebration truly memorable.
