An early architectural rendering of the building with a scheduled trip around the globe By Mr. Smith to collect artifacts for the restaurant. This early story lists the restaurant designer as Cliff and Lou Sawyer, but that didn't pan out. Some more entertainment, including Arthur Lyman. The Johnny Ukelele all star review. Dave Pele with Ernie Menehune on deck. Now here is where it gets a little interesting. This ad lists the new owners as Mike and Dale. And this ad lists Hop Louie as the owner. First time I have seen the name in the ads. Coming full circle, a story from 1977 when the restaurant became a Don the Beachcombers. DC [ Edited by: Dustycajun 2012-01-28 21:38 ]
