Not to get morbid on you all (even though when I pass on to the big tiki bar in the sky I plan to be cremated and my ashes placed in a tiki urn!) but my wife and I have a rather large collection of all things tiki and hawaiiana. She collects figurines such as Julene and tableware such as Santa Anita and I collect the most important aspect of, well anything - tiki! So one day last week, as I often do, I was peering at our collection thinking what will I do with all my precious tikis when I'm gone? My daughters have only a small interest in the collection, and I would turn in my urn (hey I like that!) if my stuff ended up on the driveway at a yard sale. So I pronounce this - we need to have a tiki museum something like the Bishop museum in HI. It would have to be set up as a trust, even though I like you all, I'm not going to let anyone abscond with my collection and if we had a board of directors maybe that risk would be lessened. Anyway, what are your thoughts on what to do with your collection at the final ALOHA?
