I had tried something similar a while back, thread died before it even really got started.

There may be a couple of dates in there that you may be able to use...

2-5 (1908): Birthday of Moon Lueg. Founder of the tiki restaurant "Moon Islander" in Titusville, Florida and the chinese restaurant "Moon Garden" in Fort Pierce, Florida. (although he didn't open the Moon Islander until 1967 so I don't know if he really qualifies for a 1962 calendar.)

August 12 (1921) - Birthday of Wallace E. Turnbow. Manager of "The Islands" in Phoenix, AZ. Co-authored the book "Introducing original Polynesian tropical bar recipes" with Dick Moano. Creator of the cocktail "Wally's Kanaka Punch", recipe listed in book above. (Wally might work... book was published in 1963 so I think it'd be safe to assume that he was working somewhere tiki in '62 or earlier.)

Good luck with your project.
