I wish I had thought of writing myself into tiki history.
Great idea really.:)
Believe me I'm used to being left out of any tiki list.

But you left out some of the really great ones I'm no expert but here are a few
Barney West
Eli Hedley
Hoffman
Coburn Morgan
MANY I have missed.

Man has Tiki come so far that the old timers are going to be lost and forgotten?

Not by those that care. I geeked out like a kid on Christmas morning seeing all the Barney West tikis at the Mai Kai again. And let's not forget Milan Guanko!

Like I said, it CERTAINLY isn't exhaustive, and for the people that the guide is aimed at, I doubt they'll actually research 1/5th of what's in there. To a lot of people, when they think of rum, and Tiki, they think of this:

or this:

Or they are those people. (Not being judge-y)
