Why, you may ask, are there pictures of a white-haired, mustachioed gentleman and my father in this blog post?
When I was searching for the Queen’s Hospital Imaging Center recently, I happened once again upon the Historical Room. This time, my eyes gravitated to a painting of Dr. John S. McGrew, the first president of the Hawaii Medical Association.
That reminded me that my father – Dr. Robert Mitsuo Miyamoto of Hilo – was also an HMA president sometime in the late ‘60s.
Seeing Dr. McGrew’s image took me back to the days when Dad and I used to sit outside the house under the plumeria trees and wait for the red Kentucky cardinals to visit.
Dr. McGrew, meet Dr. Miyamoto.
Dad, meet your historic predecessor.
How interesting that you would find out that Dr. McGrew and your dad were both presidents of the Hawaii Medical Association. Cool.
