He was hard to get an interview with - it took me about a year - and he cut it short just when I started to ask him more specifics about the Hawaiian Punch Village & Atlantis Restaurant..... Bummer! Anyway, I asked him about pictures of him developing/at Sea World and at the Reef as well - he said that his wife had all that stuff, and that he was planning on doing a book on his life himself (like so many people I interview claim to be, then the book never seems to happen...) - anyway, I sent him some pictures of Sea World he requested (like you said, he didn't save much) - and asked him if he wouldn't mind sending me some pix from his wife's stash - so we'll see if he reciprocates! Thanks again Puamana for the great menu! I haven't been able to find anything vintage on The Reef on the web... BigBro - am I missing something in your book? Or Sabu - do you have anything...? Oh yeah - he had a Witco world map haging in the hall. His comment - "My wife won that damn thing in Hawaii back a long time ago.." "Oh mystic powers - hear my call... From my limbs, let new life fall..." http://www.christophermerritt.com [ Edited by: Tangaroa on 2003-11-01 16:42 ]
