Kimo Wilder McVay (1927–2001) was a musician turned talent manager, who successfully promoted Hawaiian entertainment acts. McVay promoted and managed acts such as teenage heart throb Robin Luke, Don Ho, John Rowles, comic Andy Bumatai, Keolo and Kapono Beamer, ventroliquist Freddie Morris, magician John Hirokawa and many others. ==Biography== Kimo Wilder McVay was born September 16, 1927 in Washington, D.C.. His father was Navy Captain Charles Butler McVay III. His mother was Hawaii heiress Kinau Wilder (1902–1992), great-granddaughter of pioneering missionary physician and politician Gerrit Parmele Judd, and granddaughter of shipping magnate Samuel Garner Wilder. One of his many cousins on his mother's side was George R. Carter (1866–1933), the Territorial Governor of Hawaii. It was possibly the clearing of his father's name that gave Kimo Wilder McVay the most personal satisfaction.〔 His father was found guilty of negligence in the 1945 sinking of the USS ''Indianapolis'' in the closing days of World War II and eventually committed suicide as a result. Kimo spent his adult life on a quest to clear the record. Half a century later, the United States Congress passed action exhonerating the senior McVay. He was managing Hirokawa when he died on June 29, 2001. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kimo Wilder McVay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
