On this Thanksgiving Day weekend, we're grateful for people like Bob and Trudy Moncrief (above) who were willing to publicly speak out against the gate that was put up on L'Orange Place, where they've lived for 37 years. Since then, they've been ostracized and vilified by the other L'Orange residents. Yet they still have a sense of humor as you can see!
BAH would also like to give special thanks to Pete Dyer, Paul Haring and other Kuulei Tract residents who have shared information from their successful fight to reopen the Banyan Tree access after a landowner closed it off in 1988.
On a personal note, mahalo to all the people who have volunteered their time, energy and skills to help us in this cause... I started to list the individuals, but there were too many to name!
Which is why we're going to succeed in our mission. Because what started with a small group of concerned Kailua residents has now grown to a statewide movement to protect public beach access. Expect to see some potentially exciting news on this blog after Thanksgiving! Sorry, can't say more than that just yet...
And start taking your own Christmas Gates photos so we can post them too. How about the Grinch who stole Kailua Beach?
