Aloha Friends, Very happy to find this site. I've just re-read, "The Star-Crossed Romance" from Wanda Hickey's for the thousandth time and was moved to the board to find this site. Like most of you, I discovered Shep on WOR in the early '60's, and quickly became one of his "10 pins in that great bowling game of life," orever a fan. I listened in Manhattan on my father's old radio, under the covers every night, laughing my ass off, and have enjoyed Shep's stories through all media ever since. Today, forty-plus years later, I live high up in a rainforest above Honolulu. Sometimes I wonder about how I ended up here for 30 years when I was so adapted and happy in New York City during my tender years. And you know, Fatheads, I think that the seminal part of my journey was started by listening to Shep's famous "Lord Howe Island - Bali Hai" story sometime in the early 60's on WOR. (Is that available somewhere for purchase?) For me, Shep painted such a strong visual picture of the quintessential "Pacific Paradise," so vivid and alluring that I am sure at some level that it helped bring me out here in quest of those images.(Some other fellow victim probably got stuck in Africa in search of the "Ugubugah Tribe" lifestyle Shep often alluded to, huh) Shep's stories were so funny, engrossing, compelling and powerful - he's about the best I've ever heard. He captured my imagination about the slices of Americana and beyond that he described so beautifully, lovingly and ironically. Speaking of irony, though I've traveled and sailed all over the Pacific, I myself have never made it to the real Lord Howe Island of Shep's imagination and my dreams. Someday... Thank You & Mahalo A Nui for creating this site in Shep's memory. A very nice celebration. Aloha Chris
