Autor

William Munro was born and raised on the island of Lana'i, Hawaii. The second of three sons, Bill spent the formative years of his life on Lana'i, leaving to go to high school at Punahou on O'ahu. Returning from service in Germany and having married, he spent most of his life as a forester, and then in aviation management, for the U. S. Forest Service on the mainland. Throughout his years working and rearing his family, he remained a student of Lana'i's history. He returned to the island often over the years, making trips with his wife Jean and his father (who had retired to O'ahu), documenting cultural-historical and natural resources around the island and amassing an informal collection of important information for any student of Lana'i's history.
