The daughter was 4 when the company started and has every catalog. From facebook it looks like she may be in her 60's? http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1989/07/10/orchids-of-hawaii It looks like you can open the article for a one week subscription for a buck. p.s. I messaged her of Facebook but who knows if she'll respond to someone she's never heard of. oops... the business was opened 4 years before the daughter was born.
