The Manoa Gang

In The Mänoa Gang, Collins relates many humorous anecdotes of growing up in Mänoa Valley on Oahu, Hawaii. He tells the story of a Hawaii long gone and the people and events that made up his life in those fascinating and formative times. The book contains many delightful tales of his "adventures and capers," such as the time he and some friends repainted the median stripes down the length of Kaläkaua Avenue in Waikiki a bright green to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
