Indeed... having studied under Kumu Lake for decades, he truly melded the old with the new path of Hawaiians.  I often refer to his ability to remove conflict in his belief system whenever I chant the traditional 'oli E ulu, e ulu kini o ke akua...  [Grow, grow the multitudes of god(s)...].   
Mahalo Keith for mentioning the very person who exemplified what it meant to be a Hawaiian bridging many different worlds.  Kumu Lake has left and continues to leave an indelible impression on my daily life and the lives of many others.  EO EO KeolaMaka'ainanaKalahuioKalaninuioKamehamehaEkolu !!
