Stan Cadwallader, left, and Jim Nabors were the co-chairmen, and famed pianist Ginny Tiu was in charge of table sales, for “Tuxes and Tails 2014,” a fundraiser for the Hawaiian Humane Society, April 5 in the Monarch Room at The Royal Hawaiian hotel. The theme of the evening was “Bow Wow to Hollywoof: A Night at the A-cat-emy,” and the highlight of the formal program came when Nabors sang a stirring rendition of “The Impossible Dream” with Tiu providing musical accompaniment. “I’m a little long in the tooth to be doing this anymore, but I’ll do the best I can with it,” Nabors said before singing with such power and emotion that he earned the standing ovation he received at the end of the performance.

Cooper flew for Pan Am from 1966 until it shut down in 1991. Tryon’s father, Joe Pease, was on duty at Pan Am’s offices at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked on Dec. 7, 1941, and spent much of that day helping reroute Pan Am’s intercontinental flying boats, popularly known as “Clippers,” away from the war zone. Laster, a retired Pan Am flight attendant, is wearing a Pan Am uniform from the 1980s.
