Aloha Killy,

Your first post leads me to believe you have a Duane Fish mug/item? Or at least the magazine.

There is an article about Duane Fish in the Paradise of the Pacific Holiday Annual 1960 issue.

Duane is one of those thrilling unsung heroes of the Hawaiian ceramics movement. The pottery produced islands is so very different than the mainland and I really wanted to explain this more in the last section of Waikiki Tiki, but my editor (Karyl, and she is wicked awesome, btw) thought differently.

Yes, that is the exact article I reproduced in "Waikiki Tiki," but only a part of it. At a 263 pages, I had to make some tough decisions on content. I think I did a great job and am happy with the final product despite 4 mistakes that will be corrected in the next run.

I continue to be stymied by my efforts to find his daughter. I have found the daughter of the owner of 'Terra Ceramics' (by chance) only because she came to the publisher's office to buy a book the exact moment I was there. We had a great conversation.

In my detective experience, Men are easier to find stuff on because they keep their names. Ladies are a bit harder to track down due to marriage.

best,

Phillip
