[HADave]

Great AkoniV, It has been a while since we were reminded of another icon that rose to near fame and great notoriety, well at least throughout the company office where my wife works. Mr Tibbs made his first appearance back in the mid 90's as an office conversation piece, his good looks and quiet persona allowed him to remain at post through out the building. Before long some one got the idea to dress him up for various holiday events. Then his creator took him on vacation and returned with pictures He rose to star status quickly and was allowed to travel with other responsible, and not, parties We had the pleasure of having him accompany us to the Big Island in 2003 to act as a witness at our wedding vow renewal. He had a great time and many of the sacred tiki's touched his little heart. Mr Tibb's had traveled to some 15 vacation spots around the world and was also being prepped for national exposure via MTV but He suddenly disappeared in 2004 and his disappearance remains a mystery still today. Here is a link with a few pics of him on our trip

The first photo, as you can see he quite impressed by all the lava, #2 is how we found him the morning after the night before #3 his return form the wedding #4 like most cool cats he liked to climb trees, We had to grab him many times )

We really hope "Bud" is much the same great liaison as Tibbs was and should he travel keep a close eye on him )).

Warm Alohas HADave & Peggy
