Andrea, so glad you discovered Tiki Central and are sharing your stories here as well as discovering things about your dad that you didn't know. That's happened a number of times here before and it's so rewarding to see family members find that the creative work of their ancestors isn't forgotten, but is actually appreciated and highly valued by a good number of people here. We all truly hope you find and photograph some of your father's Tiki carvings and share them here with us. But even if you don't find anything worth sharing here, it's still great that you were able to connect with your father's past on this message forum.

Does this remind anyone of the great Volcano restaurant thread that really came to life after the daughter of the owner stumbled on TC because of some vague references to the Volcano?? She was able to share a wealth of great photos and memorabilia here as well as discover more about her Dad's work along with the rest of us. Here's hoping that happens here with Andres Bumatay's work (which is one of my all-time faves)! One can dream... :)
