I got this e-mail from Carl:

My father bought Red Hill Bowl and built the Kapu-kai bar and restaurant. I remember it fondly. My folks had Polynesian bowling shirts we had tiki things around the house. Dad had the contractor build a lava rock waterfall at our house like the one in front of the bar.

I will have to do some research to see what may have survived in the family. The man my dad had running the business did a bad job and he got out of the business before the Sato purchase.

I wish I could pick his brain but he passed away in 1990. My mom is pretty old and her memory is not very good but I will try to get what I can.

There are several previous post on this thread from kapu_kai_son. This isn't Carl but rather the son of someone who owned the Kapu Kai after Carl's dad owned it.
