Talk:Don the Beachcomber

I wrote most of the Wikipedia article but any of my material from there has been 100% rewritten, edited, and added to here.

Image gallery

It'd be marvelous if folk get dig up enough images for an image gallery and we could clear them for use as far as possible! Here's a start:

• http://www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/ah/2006/4/2006_4_38_print.shtml

• http://www.beachbumberry.com/pastmasters/

• http://www.arkivatropika.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?item_id=208

• And there's plenty at flickr, modern ones: http://www.flickr.com/search/?sourceid=mozilla-search%22&q=Don+the+Beachcomber

Yes, there's some interesting stuff there. I probably ought to incorporate some of the info, particularly from the Amer. Heritage article, into the Don the Beach article but I'm feeling lazy at the moment -- too many Mai Tais over the last couple of days. But I'll try to remember to scan a couple of the Phoebe Beach book photos and paste them in somewhere. Hayford Peirce 17:23, 6 July 2007 (CDT)

Name change

One quibble: I don't think the name change should be mentioned twice (unless the first mention is moved to the first paragraph, by way of introduction).

Okie, thanks for the tip -- I wuz doing some rewriting, shuffling around, and new material, and probably didn't realize it. I'll take a look and do some fixin'. in a new book, there's a photo of "Joan Crawford's favorite meal" -- almost exactly what I'd order too. I'll email the guy who wrote the book and see if I can get permission to upload it here. Hayford Peirce 16:00, 13 August 2008 (CDT)
