Ken Nagata Keith’s dedication October 29, 2018
 
Hello Akiko,
 
Thank you very much for the dedication photos.  Great picture of your family!!!  We are so happy that everyone could be there to honor Keith.  We're just so sorry that we couldn't be there but we know how happy and proud you and the family must have been!!  Not many have been honored and immortalized like that.  Hope Frank is holding up with all the excitement.  How long will everyone be in Hawaii?

Hello Akiko!

There is a beautiful, new plaque in Waimea Valley draped in rows of lei.   What a wonderful site to honor Keith's tremendous contributions.
 
I know you were his biggest supporter and I hope life is bringing you lots of happy days.
 
Aloha,
Jill

What a wonderful tribute for Keith!  He certainly deserved all the recognition and it was especially meaningful that his family could participate.  I'm sure he is very happy that his lifework which he enjoyed thoroughly has brought him this well earned honor.

Ric Catron From His Christmas Letter 2013 January 8, 2014
 
On his Christmas letter Ric wrote,

Earlier this month I found a home for Keith Woollimas rare Hibiscus clollection. Keith had been my boss in Hawaii 40 Years ago. He was a noted plant collector, one of my early role models (along with High School teachers Edmond Totman and Leon Erlin), and passed away a year ago. Akiko, his wife has been maintaining the plants in Silverton, OR. The Hibiscus are now happily living at the Clackamas Community College Horticulture Department in Oregon City, OR. I am pleased the collection will stay in local public view. And the Horticulture department will profit in propagating and distributing rare plants.

Two years ago today, we lost my dad, but when I am surrounded by his legacy at Waimea Valley, I feel close to him and take comfort in knowing that a piece of him still lives on. Miss you, dad.

Wili GarnettYour Dad changed my life! He hired some big tall surfer out of the tour department in 1983 and I've been lucky enough to have 
spent the rest of my life working with rare plants in some of the best places in the world!
