Fiona,
Thanks for being a good sport about all of this. I am the one that is clowning around. I think that the whole Andy thing turned into something positive. The Scottish Clown Doctors are now part of Tiki history.

I was one of the members that was scammed last year.

I would like to thank everyone for the support and caring you have shown Andy these past few weeks. He reads these post almost daily when able and it really seems to lift his spirits to know he has tiki friends around the world that wish him well. I wish I could thank each and every one of you individually but that’s not possible for me at this time. But just know that Andy loves his get well notes, cards and letters, from all of you and it really does make a difference, thank you for everything.

Hi Andy, my name is Tim , Ojaitimo here on TC. That is so cool that you are into tiki so young. I got into tiki when I was your age after my mother helped create the Tradewinds restaurant in California which had about 100 tikis inside and out. Vontiki and Colton now have this one,

There was a lagoon with a boat and a dock, lots of koi fish. It would rain inside at times and they had polynesian dancers, It was pretty cool. Do you have any places like that around you that you would like to check out?
For years I forgot about tiki until I found Tiki Central and all of you. I'm looking forward to meeting you soon. Take care buddy,
Tim Ojaitimo

So, this was my letter to Andy back then. Later when the scam was revealed, Tiki Central had come together for Andy and even though he didn't exist, the collective spirit here does.

I hope you have a great trip out here and if you can make it to Southern California on a future trip there are more than a few fans of the Scottish Clown Doctors and we would love to give you a LA tiki tour.
