Events like falling sarongs and falling palms will never be for- gotten. The stage crews were the biggest ever, because of the 22 scene changes, but everyone seemed to survive. Through the team efforts of directors, Mr. David Groen, Mr. Lewis Kaplan, and Mr. Lowell Everson, the musical was a complete sellout all four nights. .W KKK' Y After six months on the island the sailors definitely made it clear that There is Nothin' Like a Daniel!
