I can remember when there was a girl writing a book on the Kahiki here, people shut her out and did not want to help her, so I would guess it could be hard on a tiki outsider to do this.

And there was two other people that contacted me as they too were writing a book on the Kahiki, everybody told me "you don't know who they are why would you help them"

Well I did help them and even the first girl as little as she asked.

But the other two took me on a fun journey and we interviewed some people, we got the first stuff from the Kahiki warehouse before the auction.
And that is how I got that huge Moai in my backyard.

None of these people wrote a book, Greg and Melissa's would have been a good one but they broke up the stuff went who knows where but it was still fun and I remember all the details so there is that.

And I got some cool Kahiki stuff.

But I wonder how these guys got it so wrong when they at least were in contact with Otto?

And there are no reviews of this book on Amazon, It may help to post a few "this book misses the mark" type reviews so others will look for or at least know there is more to the tiki story.

It is good? I guess that they are still willing to take on and print books on the tiki subject.

I just wish that more people that are going to sit across the table at Thanksgiving with the people that were there at the beginning of the tiki boom would write a book as they should have the inside track to the good stuff.

Time is running out as the people that were there are losing memories of those days.

My wife wanted me to do a Kahiki book but I can't spell or form a proper sentence.
Plus mine would be more of a National Enquirer tell all rag.

When I asked Lee Henrys wife --- ---- ---- ------ -- - ---? I could actually see him kick his wife under the table as she started to answer me, stuff like that.
