At least one of the above pictures had been posted previously here on Tiki Central, but your story adds an incredible amount of dimension and personal touch to the story. I must be a bit gullible, but after first seeing the original photos, I thought the hei-tikis were carved out of solid stone! How amusing to see they were really made of possibley the same material that Halloween masks are made of. It makes sense - if they were made of real stone, the Beatles may have had very sore necks for their concert performances! Vern
