Artie Wilson, Jr.: Real estate in Hawaii
To travel the airlanes between
Honolulu and Portland has become
a familiar journey for "A rtie Wilson
Jr.” since he first left Portland to at
tend the U niversity o f H aw aii in
1970.
Visits to Portland are to see his
parents, Arthur (Artie Sr.) L. Wilson
and Dorthy Wilson.
Return to Honolulu is to return to
job,to avocation and to his hobby o f
breeding and showing German
Shephard dogs. (They have just
recently won ribbons for their master
in H onolulu shows). A rtie Jr. has
just recently paid a visit to his family
here.
A rtis Jr. graduating from Grant
H igh School w ith a grade point
average o f 3.8 in 1970, won a four
year scholarship to college on his
prowess at basketball. A t 6’ 1,
weighing 175 lbs., he entered the
University o f Hawaii at 18 years o f
age.
A rtie played basketball for four
years at college, but he studied a lot,
too. In 1974 he was graduated Cum
Laude w ith degrees in P o litica l
Science and Sociology from Univer
sity o f Hawaii.
A rtie found life in H aw aii
satisfying to him. By this time he had
made numbers o f friends through
sport activities, and he decided to
stay in the islands.
Opportunities in his chosen field
began to open to him and he took a

ministrator o f a Federal Emergency
School A id Program . This is a
“ C u ltu ra l Awareness” program
aimed at preserving the ethnic
background o f the many races
inhabiting the many islands o f the
state o f Hawaii. For this program,

Samoans, Orientals and Hawaiians,
A rtie Jr. writes budgets and
proposals and administers the de
partment and the 2.5 m illion dollars
allocated to it each year to operate
the program. A staff o f seven is there
to help.
W ith a genuine interest in the
people he meets, Artie W ilson listens
to the stories the elders tell; he recor
ds much music on film , tape and
records to assist in dramatization of
the ethnic roots he uncovers. He lec
tures on the culture, the philosophy
o f the people and he is familiar with
the family life style o f the various
groups he serves.
It seems a natural evolvement for
persons to ask Wilson’ s advice when
it comes to choosing a place to live in
the islands. In the islands people ask

he has found.
S o --A rtie W ilson Jr. became a
realtor. He now conducts “ Leisure
P acific,” a prosperous real estate
business, flourishing on Kalakaua
Avenue in dow ntow n H o n o lu lu .
"Leisure Pacific” clients may live in
the islands, but many are on the
mainland living on the West Coast or
living as far away as Chicago.
The firm locates properties around
the state o f Hawaii on Terra Firma
or in high-rise condominium style.
Wilson loves every minute o f all o f
his work, as he completes another
successful deal for a satisfied client.
M r. and Mrs. Wilson C. Walker
are among Artie W ilson’ s satisfied
clients on the P o rtla n d -H o n o lu lu
c irc u it, according to the W alkers
themselves. They m aintain th eir
“ condo” in Hawaii Kai.
A rtie W ilson Sr., pictured here
with his son, w ill be remembered as
the Artie W'ilson who played baseball
with the Portland Beavers beginning
with them back in 1955. This Artie
played shortstop with the Oakland
Acorns before he came to Portland.
He first played professional baseball
with the Birmingham Black Barons,
a Negro team in a Negro league back
in those days. "C a t Mays, father o f
Willie Mays was also on that team.
During his baseball career, the elder
Wilson played a while for the New
York Giants under Leo Durocher.
Another time he managed a Puerto
Rican team in Puerto Rico, when
Luke Easter was one o f his players.
Now that m ajor league baseball
has become purely a spectator sport
for him, Wilson Sr. contents himself
with selling cars for Gary Worth out
in Gladstone, Oregon.
T raditionally, the Wilson fam ily
gathers on T hanksgiving fo r a
holiday in Portland. This year, as in
other years, Artie Jr. expects to be
back again in Oregon, to fill his place
at the family table.
