I was born in Kona on the island of Hawaii on March 15, 1932 to immigrant parents who came from Korea in 1910. I grew up on the opposite side of the island in Hilo. World War II left a lasting impression on me, especially the fighter airplanes with their speed and loud noise. After the war, I became interested in a new product; the Olson 23, an ignition, gas powered model airplane engine. I delivered newspapers and saved enough to buy my first engine, a Vivall 35. Now I could build an airplane with speed that made lots of noise.
