They're doing it for their grandfather, my father, Chester Kahapea. He's been such an amazing example. So I think that's important for my kids to learn, what they can pass on to their children.

It was also to be a means to perpetuate them among all local residents. Members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce in Honolulu originally came up with the idea.
