Thanks Bongo!
First, it's great to see they had a mural, that has not been pictured in any postcard or brochure we saw so far:

Bay and Vachon Hawaiian Gardens Jan. 1969
This is a picture of Raymond Bay (left) and Maurice Vachon and his wife dining at the Hawaiian Gardens. The picture was dated Jan. 1969 so who knows when the actual picture was taken - maybe New Year's Eve of '69, I don't know. Bay was the Manager of the Hawaiian Gardens, and Vachon was the Vice President.

It makes total sense that Fred was not running the place himself. Wonder if those guys worked for him and took it over when he opted out in '65.

Bongo, what about the sign question? Maybe he wanted to put up huge neon signs and that was the city's red tape mentioned in the article?
