Harry G. Soria - Lurline Interview
Harry G. Soria, the "Dean of Hawaiian Radio" was the 1st of three generations of men named Harry Soria who became involved in Hawaiian radio. This audio is from an acetate air check recorded at KGU during the regular remote broadcast from the gangplank of Matson's SS Lurline at Aloha Tower. The reporter would interview recognizable personalities as they disembarked from the great white ship. Grandfather's wit is evident, but his allegiance to radio is also revealed, as he didn't feel television would come to Hawaii "for some time to come", but in reality, TV arrived 3 short years later in 1952. Length:
1:25
