Humphrey the whale, trapped inside San Francisco Bay last year as the result
of a wrong turn during his annual migration, was released through the efforts
of concerned environmentalists, has recently been sighted off the Farallon
Islands during his annual migration.
Another seagoing mammal, Buddy the cow, was trapped last November in the same
area. Garrison told Buddy's story during his first Hawaii show, November 15,
1985. Buddy was rescued by the combined fleets of the Coast Guard, the U.S.
Navy, and the American Dairy Association after running away from a dairy farm
in central Minnesota, unable to face the prospect of another winter in which
the milk was like sherbet and she would be forced to suffer the cold rough
hands of Minnesota dairymen and the icy steel of milking machines. Through
that great effort, Buddy is now safe and well in Hawaii, along with many of
her fellow refugees from Minnesota, brought here safely by a massive funding
effort sparked by Garrison himself last November, which made it possible to
bring such animals safely across the Pacific on wide-bodied jets. These
animals are now known collectively as "The Hawaiian Herd".
The Herd was commemorated on the occasion of Garrison's second Hawaii visit,
July 18-19, 1986, in a T-shirt prepared by the staff of Public Radio Station
KHPR, Honolulu. The design shows the Herd in every color of the rainbow
meandering across the white shirts. Collector's items, the shirts are
available in both crew-neck and China style. The crew-neck shirts are
available in small, medium, large, and extra-large for $13, and the China
style come in only large and extra large for $15. They can be ordered directly
from KHPR, and the proceeds will go to the support of the station's program,
including Garrison's Hawaiian show.
KHPR reports you can get these shirts by mailing your order directly to:
