Tom thanks for sharing that. I need to send you more stuff to add, although it is a bit detailed info. I will be doing research in FL in February and expect what I get to flesh out a LOT of details. I will be reporting as much as is interesting, relavent and able to be fit into my hour at Hukilau. And there will be a lot of people there that afternoon who were there for all these events that we can ask. I hope to have people there whose histories started at the Mai-Kai in 1957, and I have RSVPs from those who started in 1958 and 1959 for sure.
