"As I RemeT ber' by Allen "Hook" Hill
Editor's Note: Longtime
Lordsburg resident, historian,
storyteller and poet
Allen "Hook" Hill has
written hundreds of
stories and poems.
Back in the 1980s he
began writing a col-
umn entitled "As 1 Re-
member" With his per-
mission, these columns
have been dusted off
and will appear in the
Hidalgo County Her-
ald from time to time.
Hook, who is 92, still
lives in Lordsburg. This column
appeared in the Lordsburg Lib-
eral on July 8, 1988.
By ALLEN "HOOK" HILL/
Lordsburg
/Continued from last week/
We sailors [in,WWII] had
some favorite eating places in
downtown Honolulu. One place
in particular, an ice cream parlor,
served huge pineapple and straw-
berry parfaits that were almost
unbelievable. In another restau-
rant in Chinatown, we enjoyed
Chinese cuisine prepared by a
Chinese lady who took a liking
to several of us from our ship. At
least she took a liking tO our
money, but that was immaterial.
The point is, Honolulu was a
slow-moving oasis for relaxation
and rest away from the pounding
diesel engines of the ship and the
monotony of patrolling the sea.
Earlier I mentioned that I was
not prepared for what I saw as we
approached Honolulu [in May of
1988]. Well, what I was not pre-
pared for was the vast
Allen Hook Hill
number of high-rise
hotels that now liter-
ally blanket all the
available land on the
south shore. It's not
just a dotting here
and there; it's com-
plete coverage al-
most all the way to
Diamond Head. I was
nearly flabbergasted.
As we left the air-
port we soon discov-
ered an east-west freeway that cov-
ers most of the island's length.
Just in case you might ask, yep,
the freeway that day was shades
of its counterpart in L. A.--busy.
Our driver told us that it normally
took fifteen minutes to get to the
Waikiki Hotel that our friends,
Don and Margery Keeling, had
located for us. This day it took
about forty-five minutes. We
later discovered that the main rea-
son for the clogging [was] that
now there are over a million per-
manent residents on the island.
I'll put tongue in cheek and add
the ten million tourists who were
in the Waikiki area alone while
we were there, and maybe you'll
get the idea of how the island
paradise has changed. And all this
in a mere 43 years! How time
flies!
We got settled in quickly and
Don and Margery ]Keeling] came
to our hotel bearing gifts of the
islands, flowers and chocolate
covered macadamia nuts. They
took us on the first of many tours,
both short and long, that made
our stay very pleasant.
.Leon Speer had told me
that the Royal Hawaiian Hotel
was engulfed and dwarfed by
many others. I had to go see
for myself. He was right but
the old hotel has had a recent
multi-million dollar renovation
and it is indeed "splendor in the
Pacific." I loved it. Though
my pocketbook wouldn't allow
me to stay there, it still sef my
mind to remembering.
We saw all the sights, in-
cluding the north side of the is-
land, which is relatively un-
touched by the tourist craze. It
won't last long.
No stay would be complete
without mentioning the Ari-
zona. When I was there during
the war we passed within sixty
to eighty yards of the Arizona
every time our ship came in or
went out. It was a harsh prodder
then. Today the memorial is
built around and over what's left
of it. That, coupled with the
museum and memorabilia, is
indeed a grim reminder of what
happens to free people when
they go to sleep.
Conditions on the island are
not quite the same but it's still
beautiful...and I still remember.

Cowboy balladeer Tom Hiatt and the
Sundown Riders at AFP June 22-23
Courtesy submission
Western music fans will want
to make their reservations now to
hear Tom Hiatt and The Sundown
Riders this weekend at the Ari-
zona Folklore Preserve. If you're
not yet a Western music fan, you
will be after hearing this group
perform, so call now to make your
reservations.
Cowboy Balladeer Tom
Hiatt is a na-
tionally
known west-
ern enter-
tainer and
songwriter
who has per-
formed to en-
thusiastic au-
diences
ac TO s s
America and
was voted
"one of the
top 5 acts in
western mu-
sic in 2011."
Tom is the of-
ficial Cow-
boy Ballad-
eer of Back
Country
Horsemen of
Arizona, and the Olaf Wieghorst
Museum and Western Heritage
Center. He is a recipient of the
2010 "Spirit of the Old West
Alive" award. Tom and his band,
The Sundown Riders, were the
only cowboy band chosen by the

FEST," in Phoenix, February 11/
12, 2012.

was the Western Music
Association's #1 CD of Winter,
2010. American Cowboy Maga-
zine, in 'May of 2011, says, "Ap-
paloosa Moon (CD) is poised to
become a modern cowpoke clas-
sic." A song from that CD, "Bronc
to Breakfast," won the Academy
of Western Artists 2011 "Will
Rogers Cowboy Award" for West-
ern Song of the Year.
Tom Hiatt and the Sundown Riders
Tom's band, The Sundowfl
Riders, consists of Bruce Hun-
tington on bass and Ken Wilcox
on lead guitar. Both contribute
equally to the smooth vocal har-
monies and intricate musical ar-
rangements that compliment
Tom's warm, emotional voice so
well.
Noted western music critic
Rick Huff, of "Best of the West"
Reviews, says, "Frisky is gener-
ally the kind of word you would
use to maybe describe a colt.., or
a puppy, perhaps. Come to think
of it you may spot both in the
bouncing, wriggling enthusiasm
of a Tom Hiatt performance!"
If you enjoy the western mu-
sical styles of Ian Tyson, Don
Edwards, or Michael Martin
Murphey, this is an act you dare
not miss. Time spent listening to
Cowboy Balladeer Tom Hiatt and
The Sundown Riders is guaran-
teed to bring a smile to the face
and warmth to the soul of all who
love the great American West.
