    “FAREWELL MR. KRINGLE” CAST BIOS CHRISTINE TAYLOR (Annabelle Wahl)—Christine Taylor is a talented actress who has captured the attention of audiences with her charming and comedic performances in some of the most memorable contemporary comedies of the last decade. Taylor is best known for her hysterical performances in several blockbuster comedies including Paramount Pictures “Zoolander,” a satire of the fashion industry, opposite Ben Stiller, Mila Jovovich, Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell and Jerry Stiller. In 2004, Taylor teamed up with real-life husband Ben Stiller again in the Twentieth Century Fox hit “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story” as Kate, a young attorney who is initially sent to help finalize the foreclosure of a poorly managed gym and finds herself falling for the manager, played by Vince Vaughn. In 2007, Taylor starred in the Warner Brothers film “License to Wed,” directed by Ken Kwapis and also starring Robin Williams, Mandy Moore and John Krasinski. The story revolves around a young couple whose wedding plans are interrupted when their pushy minister orders the pair to complete a marriage preparation course. Taylor played Moore’s older sister. Taylor also starred in Frank Karachi’s “The Wedding Singer” opposite Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore in which she starred as the promiscuous but lovable Holly. She also received much attention for her performance as Marcia Brady in Paramount’s ever-so-popular movie series, “The Brady Brunch Movie” and “A Very Brady Sequel.” In addition to popular feature films, Taylor has also starred

Nendel © 2006 James D. Nendel Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2006 The thesis of James D. Nendel was reviewed and approved* by the following: Mark S. Dyreson Associate Professor of Kinesiology Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee R. Scott Kretchmar Professor of Kinesiology Douglas R. Anderson Professor of Philosophy James G. Thompson Professor of Kinesiology John Challis Graduate Program Director ... Department of Kinesiology Graduate Program Director *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii Abstract On August 24, 2002, the United States Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp in honor of the man whom Robert Rider, Chairman of the Postal Service Board of Governors, called “a hero in every sense of the word.”1 The stamp honored Duke Kahanamoku, a man regarded with the reverence bestowed upon a legendary figure in his home State of Hawai`i, yet relatively unknown on the United States mainland. Bishop Museum archivist Desoto Brown described Kahanamoku as “the most famous Hawaiian person who has ever been, in terms of him being 100 percent ethnically Hawaiian.”2 Known as the “Hawaiian fish,” Kahanamoku is indisputably one of the greatest heroes that the Hawaiian Islands have ever produced. Born in 1890 Duke Paoa Kahinu Makoe Hulikohoa Kahanamoku3 died in 1968. In his lifetime, Hawai’i moved from an independent monarchy to full statehood in the United States of America.
