I would like to commend you on your patience and restraint in reference to some of the posts which frankly were very rude and I'm sure offensive. Your integrity and passion for Tiki is impressive!

Trader Vic's tried to do something nice for it's supporters. Sadly, a few newbies decided to bash it for their own personal reasons. The least a decent person could do is either be appreciative or simply move on and ignore it if it's not your thing.

I certainly hope you don't mean me! I absolutely meant no offense to anyone. I was not able to go to the warehouse sale and was told by my husband the mask was a Barney West. He paid good money for this and I only became concerned when others started questioning it. I don't think my comments were rude or offensive as you wrote. Since you didn't name me, I don't know if you are talking about me directly or aiming your comments towards someone else. It's unfortunate, since you did not name a specific person, that I feel the need to specifically post my position to be fully understood.

My only goal was to find out if the information my husband told me was true. I sent a personal message to the TV's girls thanking them for their help. I thought it was nice when they posted info on the piece.

If you would like to PM me, I would be happy to discuss this matter further in private.
