[October 29, 206] HONOLULU — Governor Green today issued the following statement honoring the legacy of University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Football Coach June Jones:
“We have had some amazing athletes come out of Hawaiʻi and we’ve had some very good athletes that went on to be leaders in our society. (Honolulu Mayor) Rick (Blangiardi) is certainly one of those great people. But June has put his arms around a lot of people in the state of Hawaiʻi, a lot of players, a lot of businesses — and he was very kind to me, if I may, over the years, reaching out, giving advice to people in different disciplines …he is one of Hawaiʻi’s legends.”
The Governor’s remarks begin at 38:45, here.
