The Rev. was installed on the island with the leper colony. He would have every reason to be onboard the plane.
Seems his name is spelled Killilea. I believe he’s Irish. The name looked Hawaiian. Ha! I tried something very simple- placed his name with title in a search engine. I’ll have to do lots more of that some other time.
