KDEN TWO 

da wcc campus… 

         

bak den, only stay 7 building...eckerdt was the admin building and now stay alakaʻi...try look in da high ceiling above the cashier office window at the plaque commemorating da guy eckerdt...mahi was math, history, econ, phil and now stay manaʻopono...lono was english, comm, sp, even had one evening accounting class insai there, the learning center and trio sss (trio sss bin start wcc in the late 70's)…by the weigh, lono got demo’d and is now where stay da library...kanaloa was the old library and is now mānaleo...judd was media and social sciences, bus, and office technology and is now naʻauao...‘iolani was for sciences and is now ‘iolani... wonda y dey no stei change name?...hāloa was also up in the back and to the side of ʻiolani and was student activities, music/dance classrooms and is now back under the state hospital rule...and that was the whole campus...most classes were held in ‘iolani, judd, lono, and mahi with a few in hāloa...parking lot was grass and they only put gravel later later on, but like now parking was free...the current trio sss home, waipā no was and neva come part of wcc until 77-78, but also a‘o, ‘imiloa, pālanakila, ‘ākoakoa, kuhina, or hōkūlani all neva stay yet... 

point of fact, u had to cross a narrow wooden bridge to go da other side da little stream-gully of buffalo grass from the parking lot to get to the part of campus between lono and kanaloa and depending how big the other guy coming u might have to wait...on both sides of stream had kinda plenny huge mango trees, da kine no can pick cuz was way too high, even w stick with basket...also had kinda plenty lauhala trees...u can still c where the gully ran if u stand at the pālanakila side of ‘imi loa and look up towards the sculpture and pālanakila...if u parked higher up then u neva need cross da bridge so much, but then you’d have to hoof it down from basically almost ‘iolani and if parked lower, u had to walk along the road to come to mahi... 

won nada point of fact, there was won road that came down one way da middle of campus from between judd and kanaloa (na‘auao and mānaleo) all the way down thru the current library beach...you could park there if u came early or late and knew how to parallel park on hillses – lots of bugs, datsun and toyota trucks so all standard...

when i first started working trio ‘05, had won r1 rice burner so’d ride it to lono and park right next to the ambulance ramp...ambulance ramp???...yup, try look pics of lono below and u can c the ramp went right up to my old office (bonus if know wat in dashed circle)...ambulance or hearse would reverse up and they’d gurney da patient right in – dead go to morgue in alaka‘i basement and for lobotomy take um to basement in ‘iolani...and as y chicken skin in da basements... 

  

all pau…tu b continued anada time bumbi…
