Haole'akamai - my pleasure. The first time I saw the albums I was in Dave Levy's office (which is Bob Thornton's old office so being in there already moves me) and I began crying. It was so overwhelming. It was the same feeling that I had my first visit to the Mai Kai.

I honestly want you to see EVERYTHING!! I'm working on another exhibit for next year. There's still so much that should be shown.

Here's today's photo (from the Licudine scans). I love the questions so keep them coming.

This pic is of the very first Mai Kai sign. This picture takes my breath away as it's truly from the beginning - you can see the 3 fern Tiki Gods below and one in the distance. You can even make out the small road to the left which is US1. Isn't it nice not to see that horribly ugly City Furniture building in the background. It sits alone. You can also see the original screened in roof line and make out how small the first structure really was!

Enjoy...
