• Hi Cruz! Thanks for letting us sample all that cool stuff at the expo today in Redondo Beach. We were the couple that liked that red and white Hawaiian print dress so much... It was really cool seeing all the Hawaiiana stuff today...will there ever be something similar down in the Orange County area, or are you strictly South Bay? We'll have to talk some story if we see you again, Mahalo and keep up the aloha! Mark and Liz

• Cruz, So glad we could be a part of another successful event. Hope you're getting a little rest now…Rose

• Aloha, Loved the show, as always. I can't believe it's been 5yrs since it was held there.,, great fun…Thanks, Mark Landon

• Congratulations - We had a great time. Love our purchases, I will be wearing the jacket this Friday night to the Queen Mary. Kathy and Mark 

• Hi Cruz, Thank you very much for the space at the Cruz event.  It is a wonderful opportunity to promote the Longboard, Collector Club and display our wares.  All of the membership applications were picked up, as well as sample newsletters.  We had a good turnout and I was very pleased…There did appear to be a good crowd…There certainly was standing room only during part of the day. Aloha, Roger Mann

• I talked to Kathy Acosta from Bonita Antiques in San Dimas and she said it was a killer show. I got some good quotes and some pictures that I'm going to use for a story...Frank, Collector Magazine
