Mark,

Are you local to the Sacramento area? The estate auction was pretty devoid of anything else pertaining to the Zombie Hut, so your story makes sense. It would be greatly appreciated if you could share any more information on the Zombie Hut, including, if at all possible, photos of anything you have related to the the place. I am surprised not more of the stuff surfaces around here.

If you are able to contact the former owners decendants for more information about the Zombie Hut and share it here, there are quite a few of us that would find this fasinating.

Thanks for posting and welcome aboard. Look forward to hearing more!

Yes, I am local to the Sacramento area. I see the family alot. I live with one of the Grandkids. We are trying to get some information. When Beatrice passed away many pieces she still had got passed down to people that have also passed away, so sadly much of the family stuff has been sold off little by little. What I think is a Tyree painting simply disapeared one afternoon and we think the daughter sold it.

We only have one tiki peice. A hand carved wooden serving platter. But we have several glasses including brown glass wine glasses that could be considered tiki....maybe. (they are all from the restaurant) As for art....another artiast that had a good deal of work is a gentleman by the name of Barrick. Jim Barrick. We have several portraits of the family. Bee's Son Teri from the early 1960s, his mother, Bee's daughter Wynona and the Grand kids. They are all from the late 50's and early 60's.

A family friend has done some extensive photgraphy of the family at the restaurant so I do have some great shots of the Zombie Hut.

I'll post some pics and scans to share. I should probably start a thread or post on a thread with a related subject for that.

I just started a Wikipedia page for Zombie Hut.

Mark
