Like tikifish, I am completely enchanted by the little that I've been able to learn about the Detroit Mauna Loa, and it would have been an honor to shake the hand of the man who was responsible for designing both it AND our beloved Mai Kai. It sounds like at least he was able to know the extent to which his design work has been respected and cherished, even if he hadn't yet had the opportunity to really experience it with us at the Mai Kai. I hope that some of his family can join us, so they can see how much his work has touched us all.
