It would be nice to track down some of the Ellis Tiki he bought and sold at his shop. Annie Ellis and her brother David Ellis have a few of them in Malibu. One day a guy visited Annie with some of her fathers Tiki after learning her father had carved them and sold them to her. Maybe they were part of this group? Richard Ellis carved dozens for the Trade Wind's alone, Tonga Hut, Tonga Lei, Sam's. Most of them are still out there somewhere like the one in the tool rental yard in Oxnard.
