Hey everyone. It's funny what you find while searching the internet.

Stanley Wiedner was my father. I would love to know where the menus can be acquired especially the one with my dad's signature.

I was born in 1949 and remember the plantation and the Tahitian Room. I was the one that was eating all the bananas that would be hang from the ceiling in bunches.

The photo above shows my mother "Ellen Rita" left and "Stanley" right and with them is the background at Dee Cross(left)and her daughter Jean (right)from Dubuque, Iowa.

Later I remember my mother telling me that the bookkeeper Nick Cherikos later stole the restaurant out from under my dad. Stanley Wiedner died in 1967 in Tucson, Arizona. My mother "Ellen Rita" passed away in 1977 in Los Angeles.
