The Devil’s In The Detail

By George F. Lee, Star-Bulletin
Ukulele maker Les Rietfors of Waimanalo displays one of his
ukuleles on sale yesterday at the Hawaii Collectors' Expo at
Blaisdell Center. Made entirely of quilted maple wood, the
$2,200 ukulele appears to have the ghostly apparition
of the devil in the wood grain.

Honored

By George F. Lee, Star-Bulletin
Former Honolulu Star-Bulletin reporter and editor Larry Nakatsuka,
right, collected an honor he won last August -- a lifetime achievement
award from the Asian American Journalists Association -- at a dinner
Friday evening at Aloha Tower Marketplace. With him are former
Star-Bulletin staffers Shurei Hirozawa, left, and John Pincetich.
Nakatsuka could not attend the AAJA's national
convention in the fall.
