I made some music tapes for the manager, Joyce Haas and sent her some 
film to take pictures. She did and sent the roll back for me to 
develop.  You can't tell from the web site but she was actually a 
pretty lady, probably about 30. I belief she was related to the Haas 
family in Oakland. We corresponded for a while but I was never able to 
find out where she ended up (Honolulu?), and again, assuming she had 
Oakland roots, was obviously never able to set up a function with Bay 
Area DXers so she could share some of her experiences as a radio 
operator. I sent the pictures to Bruce and he sent them down to David 
Ricquish. When we moved up here in 96 from SF, I made a valiant effort 
to go through all my pictures and negatives but never was able to find 
the Canton Island ones. As for the music tape I sent her, this was in 
the 70s so I recall the BeeGees were on there but don't recall what 
else.

Does anyone know for sure what actually was going on on the island?
