You have my copy of that Surfrider menu. :) Indeed! Thanks for reminding me, I will be back soon and post good images of it. Here is some more info on Lee Linton from Chris Nichols: "Linton was a designer in the office of Armet & Davis in the 1950s and moved into his own firm in Las Vegas in the early 60s I believe. He did all of the best A&D renderings and design concepts. He went on to design hotels (especially with lavish porte cocheres) in Vegas where he got into some legal trouble and eventually went to jail. When I finally located him in 2005 he gave me the address of an abandoned motel he said he was living at in Las Vegas. He died shortly after."
