Indeed, it is great when collectors and scholars from outside the Tiki community join in and contribute. I just noticed that two of the most important TC threads on Skipper Kent are not linked here. On top of the valuable findings by Trad'r Bill and DustyCajun, some of the best material was unearthed by Bifcozz. I am really saddened by his recent passing, and just want to re-iterate that his paper ephemera posts on Frank Kent are some of the most elaborate postings on TC ever, in my opinion. Here is the one on Zombie Village:

...and here are pages 1 and 2 on the Polynesian Village in Chicago:

An incredible collection of material. We lost a fervent Tiki archaeologist in Bifcozz. May his work continue to enlighten and inspire.
