Although the group concentrated hard on both their studies and their extracurricular activities, Frank T. Baldwin remembers Lodge as not only a "very brilliant student" but also "a very entertaining guy to live with." On weekends, the roommates often would drive to Nahant and picnic on Lodge's beach.

His engineers say the job will take ten years, but Kaiser insists it will...
Cement & Thatches. Kaiser started in a small way-for him. He bought $3,000,000 worth of land bordering on Waikiki, created his own beach and artificial lagoon, and started work on his Hawaiian Village Hotel. In short order, he built 70 thatch-roofed units, a million-dollar 100-room hotel, a 1,000-seat convention hall, a 14-story, 260-room Ocean Tower, an aluminum dome for the convention over flow, and a $1.5 million, 13-story hotel.
