Rainbows Over Kapa'a
Talk & Book Signing
Join Bill Fernandez and step back in time to his youth in the pre-WW II years when he ran barefoot,
built a tin canoe and learned teamwork weaving it through the surf outside of keiki pond with friends,
pulled sugar cane from the slow train and grew up in the multi-racial world of the unique town of Kapa'a.
Learn how Bill's half-Hawaiian parents, Agnes and W.A. Fernandez, turned an itinerant movie show business into the largest movie theater in the islands in 1939 and how Pearl Harbor and WWII impacted his world and the movie theater.
In this Talk Story, Bill will explain how technology changed the movie theater business and how nature, in the form of Hurricane Iniki, brought it to an end.
Today, the site of the theater is now a small shopping center, Roxy Square, in the heart of Kapa'a.
Books will be available for purchase, as well as signing by the author.
Here is a link to some free library travel shows: Travel Shows. Once you're on that page, scroll down to "Rainbows Over Kapa'a" to learn more about the show.
Bill Fernandez presents Rainbows Over Kapa'a
to Kaua'i Mayor Carvalho,
cousin Linda Moriarty presiding.
