My new book will have a photo I took of the Hawaiian Eye office sign in it, now in posession of Doug "Moke" Mossman, the "guard" and Hawaiian advisor on the show. He had also lifted the original logo Tiki off the studio lot when the show closed, but it has since rotted away in his yard in Waikiki. Also in the book: A cool photo of the cast of Surfside Six in the "Boom Boom Room", THEIR local Tiki Bar.

Would that be your Witco book? I can't wait.

Is Doug Mossman any relation to Sterling Mossman? I just recently found this record for my collection:

Here's an interesting tale of how Sterling Mossman's Barefoot Bar inspired the Barefoot in Paradise clothing line, and eventually Hang Ten's logo:

Coincidentally , I am at this moment watching an episode of Hawaiian Eye which featured Sterling Mossman and his group playing a tune at the Shell Bar ! Cricket was on vacation on the mainland ! Ha !

Cool !
