I have NEVER seen anything from the Grass Shack.
When I talked with Mr. Sapp he said he had no
photos/stuff from the Grass Shack Or the Kahiki.
I did not think to ask Lee henry.

Mr Sapp did say that when they started the Kahiki
The fire marshal came in and said "you can't use
the thatch" Because it was a fire hazard.
They told him that they used fire proofing material
on the thatch.
They then took him to the burned remains of
the Grass Shack and showed him that everything but
the thatch was burnt to a crisp!
So he let them use it.

If we could find out Mr Sapps birthday we could go
to some old newspaper to see if there is a photo of
the fire at The Grass Shack.
This would be 1958 or 1959 In the Dispatch, or
The Citizens Journal.
