Hear ye- Yet, since the brunt of the images are from the Witco catalogues, I still sense a lack of PEOPLE amongst all that furniture, the kind that would inhabit a Witco rec room. It is quite difficult to find 50s and 60s pictures of people AND Tikis together, and even harder to find Witco and people pix. Does anyone have family photos from Luaus or Lounges? Folks in Aloha gear? Help me populate the Witco showrooms... |

OO, OO! Maybe it's not going to happen, but! Mr. Charlie Hodge, best friend to Elvis, lives just up the road here. Kiliki and I have gone to see him many times. I will endeavor to ask if he has any pics of Elvis or others in the Jungle Room with the Witco stuff. I can't promise anything, but it gives me a good excuse to go see Charlie again! |

Wow, that sounds great. We got the "in" on Elvis now. Did I tell you that the picture I have on Page 235 was lent to me by my pal Kiara Geller, whose father was Elvis' hairdresser AND psychic adviser. Kiara has one of the best all around Tiki collections in LA, with several Witco pieces. But please everybody, it does not HAVE to be Elvis, I take your grandpa. And it does not have to be Witco, just 50s/60s (even early 70s) modern primitive...if ya know what I mean. |

Sven- you should contact the people in charge of the Aku Inn and Hawaiian Inn in Daytona- the place has witco everywhere, and i'm sure they have old photos around |
