He was pressing me for an "honest" opinion though, so I obliged. Sad thing is, he knows something about the history of Trader Vic's, so you'd think he'd know how to get it right, but something is clearly getting lost in the translation. But to answer your question, his name is Russel Hedrick according to the Vic's website and I recall that sounds right. He's from Scottsdale, AZ so I think he worked in some capacity at the new Vic's there. I'll PM you a photo.
