Ex knew I had a crush on Shirley MacLaine. A fond memory was ex commanding me there one evening where I spent a fun evening sharing more than a few adult beverages with MacLaine And a ps: I have often wondered about the veracity of the report Ports ‘O Call, Luau, and Kon Tiki were owned by The Luau Group, which was owned by Lana Turner. A good personal friend Edwin F. (Frank) Ko, was a training chef, and traveled to various locations, and ex said Turner was there several times, and was “bossy”. Just askin." He also sent me some scans from the Ports o' Call menu
