Tom worked for Mr Leitwein, And later became Building and maintenance superintendent. One of Toms duties was to light the two 15 foot moai in front of the Kahiki. BY HAND!! He would use a soup can on a pole to light the gas torches. Tom also helped make the ashtrays and other ceramic mold type things. He said those ceramic things were made of a material called pour rock. Mr Leitwein Also said that the first table lamps had sented oil lamps and were not electric.
