Editor: Your February issue of Ka Wai Ola O OHA coritaining the book review and "Sweet and Sassy" A Treat From KahumokuBrothers" are very informative on Hawaiian authors and musicians. It would be beneficial in future articles to include an address of pub!isher or recording company so persons living on the mainland ean order these items. 1 would like to order a compact disc of the Kahumoku brothers' music. I've lived in Omaha about 20 years and manage to visit my 'ohana on Maui every two years. I would like to commend you on an outstanding job of keeping the Hawaiian community informed on high interest issues and the "doings" of the Hawaiian community in general. Through your articles I have become a better informed native Ha-

waiian residing on the mainland. Understanding my ethnic background helps me retain my identity and assimilate into the pluralistic environment advocated by my company, U.S. West Communications. Through pluralism this company hopes to energize and utilize its human resources to its highest potential. My current position on the transmission engineering corporate staff has afforded me opportunities to interact within this environment in the 14 states where U.S. West provides telecommunication services. Thank you for providing a valuable service to this reader. Anthony K. Kahalekulu (KS '60) Omaha, Nebraska
