Big Island to hold Inouye memorial

By Associated Press

HONOLULU (AP) — Maui and the Big Island will hold memorial services for the late Sen. Daniel Inouye later this week. Inouye's office says a memorial will be held for the senator at Afook Chinen Civic Auditorium in Hilo on Thursday. On Saturday, a memorial will be held at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center in Kahului. Kauai County announced last week a memorial would be held for the senator at Kauai War Memorial Convention Hall in Lihue on Friday. About 1,000 people attended a service for Inouye at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu on Sunday. Inouye died last Monday at the age of 88.
