Kern asked if I coudld post this onto TC. (no worries. done deal!)

Also, there were people on Tiki Central asking about the old lady dancing Saturday night, could you post a link to this site that talks about her -

She is Pualani Avon, a long time customer and friend of the Mai-Kai. Whenever she comes in, she always asks to dance to her song. She always says that "Lovely Hula Hands" was written for her, so it must be true. It is still first hand knowledge as long as she is still alive, not story yet. She also leased space to open the first gift shop at the Mai-Kai, which she and her family ran until the remodeling in 1970 when the Mai-Kai took over. You can find her where ever the Aloha spirit thrives, and that is why she came to the Hukilau.

Keep in touch, you know where to find me.
