Well Norm,  I dug deeply here to see if "Kokomo" was in any way
tied to the Hawaiian language.  Checked with the author Sam Keala
who wrote the Hawiian Dictionary along with Mary Pukui which all
our College students use as a guide and Sam insisted it had no
meaning at all in Hawaiian language.     So its a mystery
and some Maui People claimed it was the 4th Divn that was stationed
there who somehow came up with the road name.
Reason I had to take a course in Hawaiian lingo was most of their
songs have "double entendre" I/E dual meanings.  One nice
and one naughty.  So we knew when to smile and when not to
while singing their music.
                          Joe
"Makawau" is where they hold their annual cowboy day also with
riders, ropers, the whole shebang.
