My sainted father was stationed in the South Seas (Guam and Pearl Harbor) during the war. He was "old school tiki", to the core, my old man! Came back from the war riding a 10'6" Dewey Weber surfboard, an old "Indian" motorcycle, and raised me on his very well mixed Mai Tais and Martin Denny music. Named our first boat (a fast little catamaran) - named - yep...."PapeToaTane". Had a cool little Tahitian tiki as a "masthead". While most of my little pals were buying Beatle albums, I was catching Julius Wechter live and tagging along with my uncle to the old Luau in Beverly Hills. And Wan-Q on Pico near Robertson! Great memories. Rotten Mai Tais!! Thanks to all for keeping this alive! Aloha, and Blessings! :tiki:
