Mai Kai 50th Anniv. - a look back in pictures! - General Tiki

As you'll see in this pic from a Fort Lauderdale paper (unknown) and even the previous ads that I've posted - the graphics usually date the period. This is also one of my favs - look at the no doubt Shaheen on the Ethel Merman wannabe - also the first woman in the Molokai - and honoring her with a lei is Kay Picot, the wife of then manager Leonce Picot, which dates the photograph to the early 60's just before Kern Mattei, Sr. took his place. (photo from the Licudine scrapbook) Look at the waist on Kay! And I am so proud that I have that same dress - purchased at a flea market on my visit to San Francisco in 2004.
