Ok, now I have some questions.
Tikigardner, did you sign us up to pay for this in it's entirety?

No. Before I started pitching the idea for a memorial, the idea was to see what the cost would be, the figure of $2,000.00 was arrived at after talking to Wayne Coombs, and seeing what it one could get for that. It translated out to about an 8' Kahaona.

This amount is based on one conversation with Mr Coombes, at the very inseption of the idea. And is in no way construed as a final agreed upon amount for the aforementioned 8' tiki.

I figured that this was a possibly attainable figure, and that even to try and fail was better than nothing at all.

Before the details could be hammered out, Cy entered into the picture with the tiki extending up to the 12' range, with a tiered base for tourists to stand on to have their photos taken with the tiki.

I never said TC would ever foot the 5,000.00 tab.

As to it being a business deal, thats what soured me on how it began to go, I started the idea as a way to thank The Original Trader Frank for the times I had at Tiki Gardens as a child. Not to sell $10,000 dollars worth of product on my desk. Which in no way implies that I have $10,000 dollars worth of product anywhere.

Now I'm back to calling my doctor on the fact that while having a camera snaked through my nasal cavity, he makes comment about tonsilechtomy scar tissue, while no one in my family recalls my having my tonsils out.

Maybe its them pesky aliens taking samples.
