Seen elsewhere... Hawai'i Pono'i & the Wahine

[Michael J. Wise]

Aloha Ka-kou!

I've never even HEARD Hawai`i Pono`i ("Hawai`i's Own"), which is the
state anthem (originally the National Anthem of the Kingdom of Hawai`i,
written by King David Kala-kaua, and one other whos name I forget),
but it seems kinda appropriate that if it's sung at the Guys game (as
it should, IMHO), that they should also sing it at the Girls' game.

"What's sauce for the Goose is sauce for the Gander", so to speak.

Aloha mai Hale Ma-noa!
