La Chaine • 9/27/03 • ©Davidson Photography
2003
Quarters "A", Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
By Beverley S. Grimmer
Vice Chargee de Presse
When Chaine members approached Chevalier Admiral Thomas Boulton
Fargo, Commander, U.S. Pacific Command, about presenting a Chaine
event to thank members of the U.S. Navy for all they do for
our country, he not only embraced the concept wholeheartedly,
but he and his wife, Sarah, graciously offered the use of their
home for the evening.
September 27th, 2003, Chaine members gathered at the Fargo home,
the historic Quarters "A" on Pearl Harbor. Our honored
guests for the evening included U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps
enlisted and officer personnel, as well as commanders of the
other branches of the military serving in Hawaii, and their
spouses.
After a very warm welcome in the foyer by Admiral and Mrs. Fargo,
Bailli Fred Hellekes, Bailli Provincial Robert Lee, Jr., Dame
de la Chaine Roberta Lee, Bailli Delegue des Etats-Unis Brooks
Firestone, Chambellan Laurence Vogel and Dame de la Chaine Anna
Lise Vogel, guests moved through the home and out to the garden
where they found themselves stepping back in time just a bit.
In the garden under the pergola, we found a cosmopolitan bar
and a martini bar where the drinks were chilled as they shot
through the center of an ice sculpture submarine on their way
to our glasses. Waiters meandered through the crowd serving
crisply chilled champagne and passing the freshest hors d'ouevres.
As we were enjoying the refreshment and mingled getting to know
one another, the multi-talented Miss Cathy Foy and beautifully
graceful Miss Aloha Hula 2003 entertained us along with strains
of the most memorable island music as produced by Conductor
Aaron Mahi and the Royal Hawaiian Band.
Once we were all gathered and word was received from Hawaii
Prince Executive Chef and Vice Conseiller Culinaire Goran Streng
that dinner would soon be ready for service, members and guests
entered the dining tents to find their seats and dinner partners
and bailliage officers prepared for a short induction presentation.
With Bailli Fred Hellekes and Bailli Provincial Robert Lee,
Jr. orchestrating events, Bailli Delegue des Etats-Unis Brooks
Firestone inducted one new member, elevated Garrett Saikley
to Vice Chancelier Argentier, and bestowed the titles of Chevalier
d'Honneur upon Admiral Fargo, Maitre d'Honneur upon Michael
Jochim and Conseil d'Honneur upon Fred Honda. Bailli Fred Hellekes
then welcomed our honored military guests and their spouses
as well as Bailli Delegue des Etats-Unis Brooks Firestone, Bailli
Delegue des Etats-Unis Honoraire Burt Hobson and his wife, Maxine,
Maui Bailli Mitch Kysar and Kauai/Oahu Bailli Bruce Liebert
and his wife, Vice Chargee de Presse Judith Leibert.
The time had finally arrived for us to settle in and await the
fabulous array of delights created and prepared by Chef Streng
and his staff. Each course brought a new delicacy to be savored
and enjoyed both visually and by the palate. Virtually every
table remarked incredulously on the prefect temperature and
rich, rich flavors of the wild mushroom cream. How was this
even possible we all questioned. We were eating outside under
the stars!
Also remarked on by so many was the stunningly perfect presentation
of the char broiled tenderloin beef. Grilled to perfection,
it simply melted in your mouth. After dinner, many searched
out Chef Streng to find his secret, only to be totally delighted
as he told of the huge kiawe wood grill hidden away behind a
garage.
As the evening drew to a close, Bailli Fred Hellekes conveyed
our most heartfelt bravo and mahalo to Chef Streng and his staff,
thanked the bailliage and regional officers for all their hard
work preparing for the evening and expressed a huge mahalo to
Admiral and Mrs. Fargo. They made our evening at Quarters "A"
one we will forever remember as a once-in-a-lifetime event.
