My mom working the gift shop at the South Pacific.

Dad doing his thing at the South Pacific.

Momi Lani dancing at the South Pacific. Momi was visiting from Tahiti, my Hawaiian grandmother brought her over to a do a tour with her in the states. Momi stayed with us in Carol City for a couple of weeks and she used to walk around the house naked all the time which pissed off my mom. Unfortunately I was too young to enjoy the scenery.

Momi Lani with my mom's brother (uncle Bob) and friend of the family Wanda Siderman. Photo taken at the South Pacific.

Momi sitting in the gardens of the South Pacific making a face at the cameraman. I believe Ed Clark was the official photographer of the South Pacific.

My auntie Temoana, if you visited the Luau thread she is dancing outside the club next to the tiki and sign along with my father. Temoana was the best hulu dancer hands down. If you ever make it out to Hawaii for the annual Hula contest Temoana is most likely involved, she has taught many dancers in Hawaii.

Last one because I'm tired and there are so many photos left to restore. My pops with his troupe the Aloha Islanders. On the left of him sitting down is Proni Cortez and to the right is Carl Ascension. My auntie Temoana is standing next to the Tiki and on her right is Leonani and sitting down in front of her with the long hair and big smile is Lani Keia. Again these are the dancers on the Luau postcard in the other thread. Lani Keia was in the Elvis movie Bird of Paradise. I don't know who the other people were but my mom said they were VIP's. I am not sure if this photo was taken in the South Pacific or the Luau sorry.
