The next time I saw them was in 2000 in Columbus, for the closing of the Kahiki restaurant .... so it is great to see the aluminum tree thread here on Tiki Central. Vern I just watched a segment about the book on Good Morning (Sunday)and it was really interesting. The tinsil of the tree was actualy invented in WW2 and they would dump it out of planes to ward off / reflect the radar from the Nazis. I might go buy the book.
