They have been married for 51 years.My Dad has told me of the stories at the Hula Hut which later turned into Bills drive in.This was the quintessential place that would have been right out of "American Graffiti".The guys had slicked back DA hair cuts with their cigarettes rolled up in their tee shirts sleeves and the girls had the poodle skirts with bu fondue hair dues.Lots of cruise nights with cars of all sorts would pull up there .Oh did I mention the girls on skates as car hops . Look at the prices on the menus, are you kidding me....30 cents for a hamburger . BTW I was the original winner of the menu .
