First, it's very unlikely that paper records from 1961 still exist at Kapiolani. The law allows destruction of records prior to 1986 (25 years), if Kapiolani has converted to EMR the destruction of such records is a certainty.
Second, is the "silence from Kapiolani" amazing? Not at all. They have NO obligation to divulge any information that they may still possess, AND they have a very strong (and getting stronger) affirmative obligation not to.

For the past month, Hawaii State Senator Sam Slom, the only Republican in the Hawaiian State Senate, has been trying to get answers from Kapi’olani Medical Center executives as to why the hospital has chosen to put under lock and key a letter from the White House that the hospital should have been proud to receive and display publicly.
In an email exchange with WND, Slom’s office staff confirmed that Martha Smith, the hospital’s chief operating officer, said a copy of the Obama letter is currently hung in the administrative section of the hospital, away from public view, while the original is stored for “safekeeping and preservation.”
When Slom’s office asked if the senator would be permitted to see the original letter, Smith responded in an email, “Nope sorry, we are not going to do that.”
“Nope sorry, we are not going to do that.”
Sen. Slom should try again.
Since you know so much, what are the rules and regulations regarding children. In my profession, the records of children are **never** to be destroyed.
