He's a famous surfer type, or ukelele player, and his first name, or nickname is "Duke."

I'm with Evan. It looks like Duke Kahanamoku, but he died in 1968 (38 years ago) so perhaps it's his little brother Earl ;>

sweet!:D Chuck, mail from you always contains the most interesting things...

Although, in the interest of full disclosure, once I made the Tahiti connection, the forum search thingy helped a little....

yeah...kinda figgered it....the photo was on my imagestation album and I thought that I may have posted it. Now I have about 3000+ slides to convert to digital format.....I took an old L-5 Stinson into the top of Mt. Pinatubo for a journalist for the Manila times (before it blew) and also down inside Taal, before it blew up and killed a few hundred and I found one slide so the rest are in there, plus a convoy near Quinhon, RVN that I hitched a ride with when we were hit by rocket fire and snipers.....tons of that stuff...
