Both he and my sister in law marveled at the book, they both loved the picture of Ione and the amount of research and images that went into it. I guessed 1,000 images, has anyone counted them? Tracy laughed when she saw the Warrior Without Shield, "Yes, thats how men see themselves" While Michael was flipping through pages,he paused at the tiki carving section. "This reminds me of my wood shop at lincoln jr high , a class project was for each student to carve a small tiki." He said he would look for it so I can post it. He was born in 1948 so this would have been around 1960 when Don the Beachcomber, Trader Vic's, Bamboo Room, Luah, Tiki Ti and other places were hot and fickle LA once loved tiki.
