Latitude 20 was a Restaurant in Las Vegas that my father, Richard M. Ellis, designed, interior decorated AND carved the Tikis that are there still. When the owners sold it, they called my father who went up and got alot of interior items, but the new Owners wanted to keep the two Tikis he had carved outside. My father was taught to carve by Andy Bumatai in the early 50's. My family would love to rescue those Tikis and get them back in the family. I have posted on here before but my post did not go up..Maybe I am doing it wrong, but if anyone has any info. on this I would be extremely grateful. Otto had emailed me, but I did not get it until today. In all of Tiki Central, my mom and I hope there is someone who knows how we can retrieve these Tikis or if someone already has. Appreciate any info. ASAP. Thankyou! Annie Ellis
