Wait, I thought they were from Tahiti!? And Trader Vic's leg was bitten off by a shark, yeah! :lol: What is also interesting is that Proser started franchising the concept on such a large scale before Donn, or even Sunny, ever did. Proves again that Donn was not as much a business man but a people person and passionate host. Others took his concept and ran with it.
