He gave me a tour of his various carvings including many PNG Tiki he brought back after filming a travelouge "Haley's Comet in Tahiti" and "Solar Eclipse in New Guinea" He was Flight Surgeon for the Apollo Space Program, Flight Surgeon and paratrooper with five Air Medals and a Bronze Star. He is former Lt. Governor of Nevada and he loves Tiki. If anyone has any info on any of his collection, please write him. He would love to know more about these carvings. Benzart was happy to hear about this Tiki from the Tropicana Hotel and Casino he carved there in 1989. This is a canoe from the Tropicana Hotel Carvings from the Aku Aku in Las Vegas Thanks for the tour Doc! Please write him if you have any info for him.
