"A ROYAL HAWAIIAN BALL"

HOME IN TIME: Bishop Museum President and CEO William Y. Brown, second from left, had a long flight home but arrived in time for the 5th Annual Bernice Pauahi Bishop Awards Dinner at the Hilton Hawaiian Village on Saturday. Kenneth F. Brown, right, joined him in congratulating honorees James C. McIntosh, left, and Bob Krauss.

THOUGHTS OF NAHI'ENA'ENA: Owana Salazar paused pensively in front of the pa'u of Nahi'ena'ena that was on display for most of the evening. A portrait of Nahi'ena'ena was mounted behind her garment.

A HISTORIC CONCERT: Royal Hawaiian Band Bandmaster Aaron Mahi, center, featured vocalists Les Caballos, Misty Kela'i, Nalani Olds and Cathy Foy, in a glorious program of songs by and about Hawaii's ali'i. Among the historically significant selections were "Ka 'Oiwi Nani," sung as a duet by Kela'i and Foy, and "Kuwiliwili Iho Au."
