Oral History

John Goss was voted to Life Membership in the Outrigger Canoe Club at the annual meeting on February 25, 2002.  A member since 1945, Goss served on numerous Club committees and on the Board of Directors, ending his six-year term as President in 1991-1992.

Under his leadership, several major renovations took place at the Club.  Goss is credited with detecting and directing the correction of a serious deterioration problem caused by spalling in the physical structure of the Clubhouse. He was instrumental in instituting beach erosion controls, adopting the mini-charge, upgrading computer equipment, renovating the Business Office and replacing the mooring cable in the Kapua offshore mooring zone.

Goss was an exceptional Club athlete for many years, excelling in surfing, outrigger canoe paddling, running and volleyball.
