Jim Burns: A Local Boy
Special | 27m 17sVideo has Closed Captions
Leslie Wilcox welcomes guest Jim Burns to Long Story Short
If you call Jim Burns a haole he would likely take offense. His father, John A. Burns, always thought of himself as a local boy. Jim, who grew up in Kailua and easily breaks into Pidgin English, sees himself the same way. As Jim was growing up, he saw the respect that his father had for Hawaii immigrants, and learned that being a local boy was about more than just speaking Pidgin.
