To:phoebe.beach@outrigger.com From:tahiti@post.harvard.edu Subject:Don the Beachcomber

Dear Ms. Beach,

Are you the Phoebe Beach who collaborated with Arnold Bitner on that wonderful book "Hawaii Tropical Rum Drinks & Cuisine by Don the Beachcomber"? I have owned it for several years now and love it -- I make one of the drinks, a Mai Tai, Navy Grog, or a Zombie, every two or three days and remember the wonderful old days at the Beachcomber restaurant in Hollywood in the 1950s and 1960s.

I would like to contact anyone who can give me information on the copyright title to "Don the Beachcomber", in order to get permission to use scanned images of old Don the Beachcomber restaurant menus for a non-profit online encyclopedia project.

I'm an author of several articles at CitizenDium, which is a new version of Wikipedia. I lived in Tahiti for many years and used to love going to the original Don the Beachcomber in Los Angeles. I've written the CitizenDium article about Don (and a number of his drinks). If you know anything about the owner of the copyright for various Don the Beachcomber uses, I would like to get formal permission from that person (or estate or business) to use the scanned images of this old (1959, probably) menu that I have put into the article. You can see them at:

http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Don_the_Beachcomber

I emphasize that CitizenDium is a NON-PROFIT organization attempting to create an on-line encyclopedia that is of a higher quality than Wikipedia. Images are an important part of any article, and we are attempting to always comply with the laws of copyright.

I hope to hear favorably from you.

PS -- when I lived in Tahiti I used to see a little sign by the side of the road in Moorea that said "Donn Beach" -- I had no idea that it was where the Beachcomber lived! I would give anything to have known so that I could have dropped by to say hello....Wikipedia.
