This man does not look too silly.

This is Bruce Holmberg. He is the Chairman of the Hospital Board of Governors of the Honolulu Shriners Hospitals for Children. I met him on Waikiki Beach this last weekend as they hosted a beach volleyball tournament and fundraiser for their organization. Shriners have a rich history in the islands and do wonderful work for children. We spoke for quite a while and he had very fond memories of the Tiki restaurants in the islands... Queen's Surf, Canlis, Tahitian Lanai, and many more... Let's not forget that a group of Shriners were the first guests at the Moana Hotel in 1903. Wear it or don't, I support their mission.

Nice sheet music cover Sven. I'd never seen that one before!
