Happy Birthday to Us! This October marks the completion of Reading ’Riggers’ 8th Year Reading ’Riggers
By Gerry DeBenedetti
OCT. 4 “Hawai‘i Gold: A Celebration of Surfi ng” by Carissa Moore OCC member and 2020 Olympic Gold Medalist Carissa Moore penned this beautiful book. Expect surf photography and many other authors in various chapters—it’s truly a piece of art for ocean lovers. And since this marks the 8th year of Reading ’Riggers, if you join us on this date, we will start off with cake and celebrate. Copies in the Hawai‘i Public Library System (HSPLS). NOV. 1 “PetWalk! The Pam Burns Years” No author listed Irving Jenkins will present this inspirational chronicle of the 27 years Pam Burns served as the CEO of the Hawaiian Humane Society. She turned the shelter into a model for animal welfare and humane treatment of animals. Lots of personal insight, photos and remembrances. Copies in HSPLS.
When checking the HSPLS you must enter PetWalk! as one word. Although no author is listed in HSPLS, the information in the book is primarily from Irving Jenkins, widower of Pam Burns. He came to Reading ’Riggers in 2018 with his book “Lord of the Ha‘ao Rain.” In addition, he is known for his two research titles, “The Hawaiian Calabash” and “Hawaiian Furniture and Hawai‘i Cabinet Makers.”
