"KEO KESHNER"

It was in 1941 when Maui's Alexander House Settlement's Men's swimming team journeyed to Maplewood, Missouri to defend its National A.A.U. Men's Senior Long Course Swimming Championships (which it has for the past two years 1939 in Detroit and 1940 in Santa Barbara, California); that a human drama was in the making.

The team included Caption Keo Nakama (who only a month ago had an appendectomy), Bill Smith (hawaii's latest swimming sensation), Bunny Nakama (keo's younger brother and the defending 1500 m. freestyle champion), Halo Hirose (Hawaii's spring champion), Jose Balmores (the 15 year-old all-round swimmer and a recent victor over Adolph Kiefer, the U.S. Olympic champion in the IM), Paul Herron (Stockton, California's outstanding freestyle swimmer, who trained on Maui for the championships), and Charlie Oda (the rising freestyler).

Also making the trip were Bob Tribble (Hawaii's backstroke champion) and Carlos Rivas (Jose Balmores' closest rival in the IM and butterfly), both of whom represented their Honolulu clubs.

In addition to the men's team, Maui's women's champions (who were on their way to the Women's National A.A.U. Senior (long course) Swimming Championships at High Point, North Carolina) were in Maplewood, too.

Those in the group were: Mrs. Mary Sakamoto (chaperone), Miss Grace Crockett (assistant), Fujiko "Fudge" Katsutani (U.S. breaststroke champion), Chic Miyamoto (U.S. IM champion), and Toy Takeyama (Hawaii's backstroke champion).

In the meet, Jose Balmores surprised everyone by defeating the defending champion, Jim Counsilman (who is now head swimming coach at U. of Indiana) in the 200 m. fly and 300 m. IM. Halo Hirose placed within the first three in both the 100 and 200 m. freestyle events, Bill Smith won both the 200 and 400 m. freestyle events and placing second in the 800 m. event -- after a heated race with Keo Keo Nakama took both the 800 and 1500 m. freestyle championships (dethroning his brother Bunny in the latter event).

In the relay events, Maui successfully defended its 800 m. freestyle relay for the third straight year, and placed third in the medley relay.

The 800 m. relay team included Jose Balmores, Halo Hirose, Charlie Oda and anchored by Bill Smith.

In the overall team points the Valley Island team scored 72 points to eclipse the total points of all the other teams.

While all the excitement was taking place in the meet, a family sitting in the stands was most impressed by the courage, gallantry, tenacity and good sportsmanship, plus all his great swimming of Keo Nakama.

It was Joe Keshner, the owner of the "Good Earth Farm" (noted for its great black angus stock) of New Florence, Missouri, and his family: wife, Keiki, 9 year old son Joe and 8 year old Kinani, who were attracted to Keo from the memorable days in Maplewood; from then, on, they became Nakama's staunches supporter and friend.

To further to his adoration of the Maui-star, Joe Keshner changed his son's name to Keo Keshner as a tribute to his idol.

Thereon, the whole Keshners were frequent visitors to Hawaii and the children took the opportunity to improve their versatility in the water.

After the family's return to their farm, both Keo Keshner and his sister participated regularly in the A.A.U. age-group swimming meets in Missouri and Keo especially, proved himself a winner in most of his races.

Later, when young Keshner reached his college age, he returned to Honolulu to attend Chaminade College and joined Hawaii Swimming Club to further his swimming interest; however, all of this was not to be, as Uncle Sam called him to bear arms.

Not long after that, Keo Keshner was killed in action while serving his country in the Vietnam holocaust.

As a tribute to this gallant lad, his father has established an award in our Annual Keo Nakama Meet — trophies to the winners in the 400 m. IM (an event which Keo Keshner excelled in) for both men and women.

In addition, a Perpetual 400 IM Trophy is kept by Hawaii Swimming Club to engrave the names of each year's winners.

When the trophy has been filled with the victors' names, it is sent to the "Good Earth Farm," in New Florence, Missouri for permanent keeping with the Keshner's; already, one has been sent and other (replacements) will contain names of other honorees to perpetuate Keo Keshner!
