It really is a fragile industry.

If we lose this thing called 'aloha,' we're just like any sand-and-surf destination. I don't believe we can afford to go there.

You can imagine what kind of stir it would create if we created a situation that was gonna be unsafe for visitors. So that's a ridiculous allegation as far as I'm concerned.

There's no room at the inn, so to speak.

Many came out of the textile industry.

We were fragile and febrile.
