DON HO REMEMBERED: LIVE TV BROADCAST
The size of the Ho service could be unprecedented. The most popular Sunset On The Beach events at Queen’s Surf Beach have attracted about 10,000 people, Brennan said.
There also have been sizable marathons and other large area events in the past, but they may be surpassed by the crowd that comes to honor Ho, who died of heart failure on April 14 at the age of 76.
Two Honolulu TV stations — KGMB and KHNL — said yesterday they plan live broadcasts of at least parts of the private services for Ho, the scattering of his ashes in the waters off Waikiki Beach and the concert.
