Hello Higa-Matsumoto etal

My name is Clyde Ken Higa, the second son born to Shinichi Higa (of Amauluu Camp 4) and Sadako Matsumoto (born in Pueopako, Papaikou). My older brother is Glenn, and my younger brothers and sisters are/were Lynne, Eric (deceased), Debbie, Kavin (deceased), and Myron.

I was born on August 30, 1948 at the Matayoshi Hospital in Hoku Street in Hilo, Hawaii. We lived at 9-1/2 mile camp Olaa. As I remember, the house was described as "the first lane on the left and the last house on the right." I attended Olaa Elementary School until the middle of the 1st grade when we moved in with our Matsumoto relatives in Paukaa on Kulana Road. I attended Kalanianaole Elementary School until the middle of the 2nd grade.
