You'd be surprise how many people miss the boat when it comes to Hawaii. My kids went to stay with my Mom and Dad two weeks ago, Getting ready for me and my wife to join them first week of Feb, anyway. They say they get all kinds of wacked questions about Hawaii, "Do they speak English there?", "What kind of money you use there?" etc. HELLOO it's the 50th State, where has are education system gone LOL-Not an Airbus or Boeing guy here.

iirc it may go back even further, I haven't got time to google but the name ''Stamford Raffles'' comes to mind, think may have been governor around turn of the 19th century
