Fong. It is fitting that on Admissions Day. the State of Hawaii commemorates the life of one of its strongest advocates for statehoodSenator Fongby dedicating the postal facility at 1271 North King Street in Honolulu. which stands near Senator Fongs boyhood home in Kalihi. Like so many of us with immigrant parents. Senator Fong will be remembered not only for his many accomplishments but also for his humble beginnings. As one of 11 children born to parents from China. he graduated with honors from the University of Hawaii in 1930. and continued his education at Harvard University where he received a law degree 5 years later.
