I was diggin on the Bali Hai Apartments and contacted a reporter who had written about the Bali Hai Moai in one of his columns a few years ago. He gave me the tip! The bank has over 26,000 photos. They use them in there calenders and art shows and such. The bank got most of the photos donated to them by the estates of area photographers. These photographers had long standing photo businesses in the community and worked on many projects over their life times. They never threw any thing out. The families recognizing the old picture as history of the community wanted to preserve them, but didn't want to store them and wanted their loved ones pictures to live on and benefit the citizens.
