Before the Five-O Usenet discussion group for the show mentioned in another posting, there was the Iolani Palace Irregulars, a fan club for the show which was run by Karen Rhodes, who later wrote a reference book about the show. I have many of the newsletters from this fan club which went under the name of "Patch Me Through To..."
I have placed them here:

The list is not complete, and there is no fancy interface here. Just click on the individual links to view that newsletter...

But very interesting. I'm going through them now, and remember them.

I contributed twice to either the Irregulars or a sequel. There was a feature that wanted instances of Hawaii 50 in the world. I mentioned the theme song playing in the background of "To the Manor Born" a Britcom from the early 80's. In the 2000's on a trip to Ireland a restaurant that featured baked stuffed potatoes had two potatoes with H 50 names. One was the Book 'em, Danno but can't remember the other one. They featured ham and pineapple.
