Why doesn't someone lobby the military - you've got all services there on Oahu - and see if you can't get some force resistance from them..it would seem to me that the Natatorium is as sacred a ground as is Punch Bowl, the Arizona Memorial, etc..

The editorial cited this week's letter from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which outlined why the cost of demolition would go far beyond current estimates.

Waikiki Natatorium War Memorial Check out the Star-Bulletin's editorial today; very supportive of restoration of the Natatorium! Says, "The current recession (should not) be a factor in determining what to do with the pool" and suggests "after the economy has recovered ... Waikiki's tourism businesses can be prevailed upon to contribute toward a restoration project."
