On August 31, 1974, Charles Lindberg was buried on the grounds of the Palapala Ho’omau Church in Kipahulu, Maui.

Lingle’s State Dept. of Transportation is expected to argue that it be allowed to conduct an EA while the Superferry resumes operations. Meanwhile on Kauai, protestors on kayaks and surfboards successfully blocked Nawiliwili Harbor, shutting down Superferry operations to the Garden Isle after the US Coast Guard said it could not guarantee the harbor’s safety.
