I've never seen anything like this. It was just over- helming. Fantastic." These were just some of the comments made by a beaming and obviously ecstatic Charles Heen, who served as chairman of an organizing commit- tee which planned the Jan. 23 Ho'olokahi Hawaiian Unity Day program at Aloha Stadium. Heen was not one bit disappointed at some of the empty seats, exuding with confidence that "There are more than 50,000 people in this Sta- dium today. We've got some 4,000 people working under the tents outside in the parking lot and thou- sands more are on this fi eld." "The theme of bringing Hawaiians and Hawai- ians-at-heart together for one day was fulfilled.
