I didn't use it. My book is 99% Oahu photos.

And I was very young. I musta been around 5 when this one at Coco Palms was probably taken.

I simply didn't know what to ask him at that time. I'd usually only see him a few times a year, and much less as I got older and moved around. He was buzy hustling gigs, just like the other photographers working in the the islands. Don Ceppi, Murray Belfer and many others (mentioned before) were working Hawaii. Postcards have always been big biz.

I'd say thats a lot less now due to the internet. But getting a postcard, was a big deal in the old days. I think the last time I sent postcards out was from Easter Island in 2001.

Ron, that would be cool... be sure to let me know.
