My Mother worked for TOPS WAIKIKI back in the late 50's and retired from Spenceciff after 20 years. Great company to work for. Spence Weaver was a sweet and very caring man. Always took good care of his employees.

My Mom (MaryAnn Gumpfer) was the Head Bartenderess at TOPS WAIKIKI for over 20 years. Loved working there, retired only because we her children all lived in California and now were having children and she wanted to be where her children and grandchildren where.

I saw an old match(box) for Spencecliff Restaurants once. This is like a Bob Sigall "RearView Mirror Insider" column; author of "The Companies that we Keep" book series, about Hawai'i's history.

one thing that is no longer is thing, at the Waikiki hotels, in the present day: "showrooms" (the Outrigger Hotel Hawaii (think of the "Society Of Seven" singing group) = Blue Note Hawaii); Don Ho, Al Harrington, Danny Kaleikini and Melveen Leed = all of them are Hawai'i's musical legends. For vintage 70's-80's Hawaii comedy, the legends were: Andy (Bumatai), Rap Reiplinger (Booga Booga), Frank (DeLima), Mel Cabang, and ventriloquist Freddie Morris (with Moku Kahana). I liked Kelly's Drive Inn/Bronco Bar (by the airport), it is now a Harley Davidson/"Cycle City" motorcycle shop, in front of a Wendy's fast food drive thru restaurant. Fisherman's Wharf: I never did eat at the restaurant, but on the 2nd level, I went to Al Waterson and You; it was also a nightclub called "The Living Room." Coco's = the Hard Rock Cafe (280 Beach Walk) => Honolulu Coffee. J. Akuhead Pupule (Hal Lewis), a great radio personality. I like the (David) (Hassel)Hoff (Knightrider; BayWatch). I remembered the original International Marketplace, plus the small (kiosk) shops (like at the Aloha Stadium flea market/swap meet); there is a Don Ho statue at the International Marketplace; in the new location. (I liked the Top of Waikiki (rotating restaurant) when it was open; kinda like the "La Ronde" (UFO building) rotating restaurant / doctors and real estate offices; designed by architect John Graham Jr.)); there is a Don Ho statue at the International Marketplace; in the new location.
