Found another article via Google News that states Joe Elvena (misspelled “Alvina” here) had extensive Polynesian restaurant experience before the Polynesia, much more than just the Lotus Eaters I cited earlier... The Miami News August 3, 1963 (page 35) So, according to the article, Trader Joe previously worked at these places with their own Tiki Central threads: Monty Proser’s Beachcombers at Boston and Miami Beach Joe Elvena passed away at 81 years of age on February 18, 1991. His obituary focused on his WWII service in the South Pacific...
