Clement Apollo was well known on Sand Island, as he became the first director of the Committee to Save Sand Island. He was a gregarious, popular guy. He would give boat rides to people like myself and John Kelly. He and Puhipau were the most well known people at Sand Island.
His house had a wooden floor, it was one of the more well built homes on Sand Island.
A WWII veteran, the story was that he had been struck in the stomach with a bayonet in battle.
He took a really strong stance against eviction at Sand Island.
