Gale Haners son did have photos, mostly masks, a budha, the nude girl, birds and some of the stuff that was in the newspaper photo, but no Tikis. When I last spoke with him he said he didn't think any of his dads carvings were bigger than five foot tall. but I did find another pic on microfilm from the tacoma paper, this is from a bad print from that microfilm, sorry about the quality. It's hard to see but the taller Tiki on the table looks a lot like the on I have. So the hunt is still on, next month there is a carvers event near by, with luck one of them can point me in the right direction. aloha, tikicoma [ Edited by: tikicoma 2011-07-03 21:05 ]
