"Services for George Louis Lanakilakekiahiali'i Na'ope, a co-founder of the Merrie Monarch hula festival who was known widely as "Uncle George," will be held Friday and Saturday at the Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium in Hilo."
For any who knew Uncle George and for all who have benefited from his aloha, his gifts and Hawaiian cultural arts (everyone) these services are a rare moment in local history which should bring out the best in Hawaiian society and culture.
I intend to be there to pay my respect.
