Sorry for the delay in posting other pictures but the photo albums are in total disarray. The tape holding the pix in place has kind of worn off since 1962! So we're trying to match captions with photos. I just tried scanning a photo but I got a scanner error message, of course.

johntiki, the photo of my dad doing the fire knife dance is not the Hawaiian Room at the Emerson, my mom says that was some establishment in Phoenix, AZ. You had asked if that was the Hawaiian Room.

I was trying to get a good photo of the swizzle stick but then I noticed on Johnny Dollar's blog a nice clear shot of it. The non-Moai one is the one I have. I thought Johnny said those were photos of your collection. Speaking of collection, my mom dug up a monkey pod pu-pu tray with sterno center that was from the Hawaiian Room. It had no hotel markings on it and it was slightly broken. I'm sure many PolyPop restaurants had these same ones.

One other item, the guy running our May 6 luau said he has tickets and if any of you are interested you can call Al @ 410-789-1007 or cell 443-848-1708. This is a Sunday afternoon 1pm-5pm event at the Lansdowne American Legion Hall. I don't know the ticket prices. Hawaiian music first hour, floor show second hour and then contemporary dance music thirdf and fourth hours. Al would have other details.
