Hi! My name is Steve Fulkerson, I am the grandson of Henry and Dollie Molino two of the original co-owners (along with my great Cousin Phil Molino. and the brother of theClubKonagene.

Many of the images in the previous post are from my Flickr site.

I am always happy to share info about the old "Kona Club".
I am slowly going through the old family albums and scanning in any photos of the club I can find. We even have some 16mm film of the floor show that I will have transferred to DVD.
We are very interested in collecting ANY memorabilia from the Club. We have been able to find about 5 photo folders on ebay and a matchbook cover and two menus (one with my grand fathers handwriting on it!) I would be willing to discuss a trade for some of the photo folders.

Here is a scan from the Oakland Tribune of 19APR38 annoucing the re-opening of the rebuilt club after a fire that destroyed the original club.

Anyone got any more Kona Stuff?
