Aloha Brethren,
Here is a post from our Past Grand Secretary, Our Grand Historian Herbert Gardiner. Maybe we can add a page to publish some of his works here. Here is his post

M/W Ray:
Congratulations for your efforts to (1)expand the Masonic education of Hawaii's brethern and (2) to provide a venue for
Brethren to express their views on a variety of subjects impacting the Craft in Hawaii.
I believe your's is a constructive approach to providing the Brethren with a venue to comment about how we conduct the business of the Grand Lodge, and Freemasonry in general here in Hawaii.
I have been a Freemason for over 51 years (Raised in Hawaiian Lodge 21) and I believe that one area we can improve on is Masonic education. I realize that we have some Brethern who strongly believe that the ritual provides all the Masonic education that is needed. In the real world that notion is obsolete and has been for many years. That's why there are Masonic Research Lodges in Hawaii.
Given all the anti-Masonic trash that exists on the WWW and also published, our members should be educated on (1) to expect it. and (2) how to counter it.
It should be recognized that the majority of the Brethern do not aspire to be Lodge officers, many of whom are interested in Masonic history. Especially the younger members...are interested in the history of the Craft and their Lodge. Very little if any is provided to them.
As you know I do some writing about famous Freemasons and the Craft. As you also know there is no venue for publishing this kind of Masonic research here in Hawaii. As a result my work is made available on the Web site of the Northern California Research Lodge, (NCRL). Our book about Le Progres which I was one of the three authors was also done under the auspices of the NCRL.
Fraternally,
Herb Gardiner in Soggy Manoa
