Harry Weinberg has been called “one of Honolulu‘s most paradoxical figures”; He was known in his lifetime as a ruthless, antagonistic businessman, but his legacy has become one of generosity and philanthropy.” About Gabby Pahinui: “Locals also saw him as a folk hero, working a day job on the city and county road crew, while he played music at night – all to support his wife and 13 children in Waimanalo.” About Mary Kawena Pukui: “Some Hawaiians criticized Pukui’s work on the dictionary and accused her of writing for Haoles, recalls her daughter Patience Namaka Bacon. She just told them, ‘I don’t write for Haoles. i don’t write for you I write for my grandchildren and your grandchildren.”
