Steve Nagata writes: “Now that we are in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, I was browsing through the online issues of BAM here in my home in Honolulu during stay at home protocols. I could not help but read the class of 1971 notes. Man, has time passed. I fondly remember the days of Poland House, the Sharpe Refectory, my wonderful time in the Brunaires singing group, the fraternity, and my futile attempts to learn a semblance of knowledge in the introductory geology course (barely passed), having been an avid liberal arts political science major. I was totally naïve coming to Brown and left, hopefully, a bit more mature. After Brown, I entered the Air Force and served for two years stateside during the Vietnam War days. Thereafter, I went to Boston College Law School and then started practicing law in Hawaii—first as a law clerk in the Hawaii Supreme Court, as a deputy in the Hawaii Attorney General’s office, and then at a series of law firms, culminating in the legal department of Hawaiian Electric Company. And now I’m happily retired, but teaching law at the local community college, doing tai chi and other various martial arts, and, of course, playing golf. Going to Brown molded a big part of my character and I am grateful for that. My best wishes to all of you.”
