== Biography ==
Fern, who was raised in the Madison Barracks community in Sackets Harbor, New York, arrived in the Hawaiian Islands in 1919. With partner Ben Stoddard, they barnstormed in Honolulu at Kapi‘olani Park, where they flew passengers 10 minutes for $10 each.〔(Hana Hou Magazine )〕 Fern’s plane, 20-gallon tank, two-cockpit, single-engine Jenny, was brought to the Islands on a Matson freighter. On February 1, 1920, Fern, who learned to fly in the Army Air Corps during World War I, carried the first paying passenger on an inter-island flight, giving him the distinction of being the first commercial pilot in Hawaii.〔(Aviation History in Hawaii )〕 In addition, on May 9, 1920, Fern made the first round trip between O‘ahu and Maui in the same plane and then flew on to Kaua‘i. He became known as “Mr. Kaua‘i" and was eventually inducted into the Hawaii Publishers Association Hall of Fame.〔(HPA Hall of Fame )〕
In 1927 he formed the first Kauai barefoot football league. In 1938 he built Kauai's first radio station, KOWY (renamed KTOH).〔(Kauai radio station owner plans statewide network )〕 During World War II, Fern published the ''Cow Eye Sentinel'', a weekly paper for soldiers stationed on Kauai. Eventually he became owner of ''The Garden Island'', where he worked for 44 years, but sold the paper and radio station when he retired to Honolulu in 1966.
