KEN IGE / KIGE@STARBULLETIN.COM
Busy senior Ernest Silva stood still the other day to show
off his jacket, which reflects his love of Hawaiian music.
|It is decorated with the names of just about every local
musician you can think of. Silva, 83, lives in Pauoa Valley
but grew up in Kakaako, where he played in the old barefoot
football league for the Kakaako Sons. That explains the hat.
