I was a part-time "floater" at the Kailua Liberty House for six years, working after my regular job downtown.  One of my funnest p/t jobs.  Growing up in Kailua, it was a special time when we saved up enough of our allowance to buy something "fancy" at Liberty House, instead of Kress or Wigwam!  And working there was fun.  Not as much fun when Macy's took over, and that just seemed "wrong."
Thanks for a great article.  Good memories there.
