There is a SERIOUS problem with this biography

I can't cite chapter and verse on a reference, other than personal email with Malcolm Rockwell which I may no longer have. But Frank Ferera was in San Francisco when Helen Louise disappeared and did not report her apparent demise at all. She was assumed swept out to sea, and the vessel on which she was traveling was outside of Seattle when the incident occurred.Pinikadia 16:21, 8 August 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pinikadia (talk • contribs)

Ferera first visited the mainland United States as part of the Keoki E Awai troupe, which had been booked to entertain at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition

Wrong! The Panama-Pacific International Exposition was in 1915. Ferera left Hawaii for the US mainland in 1902. See: "Hawaiian Music & Musicians, 2nd edition," Kanahele, George S., and John Berger, eds., Mutual Publishing, Honolulu HI 2012. 66.162.249.170 (talk) 02:08, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
