Humphrey the whale, trapped inside San Francisco Bay last year as the result 
of a wrong turn during his annual migration, was released through the efforts 
of concerned environmentalists, has recently been sighted off the Farallon 
Islands during his annual migration. 
 
Another seagoing mammal, Buddy the cow, was trapped last November in the same 
area. Garrison told Buddy's story during his first Hawaii show, November 15, 
1985. Buddy was rescued by the combined fleets of the Coast Guard, the U.S. 
Navy, and the American Dairy Association after running away from a dairy farm 
in central Minnesota, unable to face the prospect of another winter in which 
the milk was like sherbet and she would be forced to suffer the cold rough 
hands of Minnesota dairymen and the icy steel of milking machines. Through 
that great effort, Buddy is now safe and well in Hawaii, along with many of 
her fellow refugees from Minnesota, brought here safely by a massive funding 
effort sparked by Garrison himself last November, which made it possible to 
bring such animals safely across the Pacific on wide-bodied jets. These 
animals are now known collectively as "The Hawaiian Herd".

The Herd was commemorated on the occasion of Garrison's second Hawaii visit, 
July 18-19, 1986, in a T-shirt prepared by the staff of Public Radio Station 
KHPR, Honolulu. The design shows the Herd in every color of the rainbow 
meandering across the white shirts. Collector's items, the shirts are 
available in both crew-neck and China style. The crew-neck shirts are 
available in small, medium, large, and extra-large for $13, and the China 
style come in only large and extra large for $15. They can be ordered directly 
from KHPR, and the proceeds will go to the support of the station's program, 
including Garrison's Hawaiian show. 

KHPR reports you can get these shirts by mailing your order directly to:

     Hawaii Public Radio
     1335 Lower Campus Road
     Honolulu, HI 96822

Or you can telephone charge orders to the station during normal working hours 
(8 AM to 5 PM, Hawaii time) at (808)955-8821.
