Aloha Jeff, welcome to Tiki Central! It's nice to know that Kate's spirit and memory live on, even outside the tiki community. Congratulations on your recovery, and good luck with your event!

I'm stunned. I've been away a while. Tiki-Kate was whose name I drew in the one and only mug swap I participated in so far. I spent some time looking at her posts to get a feel for who she was to help me pick a mug, and when I looked at her collection at Ooga-Mooga I told my husband "chances are anything I send her she already has!" I then became determined to send her something unique if at all possible. I decided to include a shirt in my package to surprise her, and I hunted for a while and even got a parking ticket on the day I found the perfect shirt! I felt kind of crushed, I was spending more money than I could comfortably afford already without the bonus of a pricey parking ticket. I inwardly questioned why I was doing this. My husband got in the spirit of things and carved a tiki Bob candle to include in the package. We sent it off and my answer to "why am I doing this?" came in the form of Tiki Kate's response:
"Your package arrived today, and I was completely floored. The whole thing was incredibly thoughtful. I did not have the volcano mug, and the shirt and bracelet are fabulous. I love the Tiki Bob candle too. I'm a huge Bob fan. He always makes me smile.
I'm having one of the worst weeks of my life, and you have cheered me up immensely.
Thank you so much. (I can't wait to post everything next week.)
Kate"
I never got to meet Kate.

I never got to meet Kate but I did get to deal with her a few times on here. She was really knowledgeable and if she didn't know she passed me onto to others who might. Kate was always very nice and pleasant eventhough she was dealing with alot more than she let out there.
She was a big part of TC and her collection is great! She touched alot of people here and elsewhere in her life and we all a bit better off for knowing her.
I am glad her memory will live on and she will always be remembered as Tiki-Kate.
Big Mahalo.

I know this is a late posting....I've just been so saddened about Kate's passing.
Tomorrow is her date of birth 11/18...I'd like to think of it as a celebration of her life. I'll think of the good times I had the honor of sharing with her...from tiki chops, to the Hukilua, to just plain old girl talk.
You are missed Kate....

Kate could do a nice impression of Charles Phoenix’s “I know!”

I only met Kate once. It was at the Kon Tiki re-dedication in Tuscon in 2006. I had the pleasure of hanging out with her & Al-ii & talking tiki with her. She was a very nice woman & I always figured our paths would cross again. I never posted on this thread because I didn't think I knew her well enough to pay any kind of proper or appropriate tribute. I do miss her presence here & all the interesting posts she used to make.
I would've liked to know her better.

So sad-- Kate passed while I was absent from TC for the last few years...
I met her (very briefly) at one of the chops down in San Diego, god, ages ago that seems like. I didn't get to talk to her much-- everyone was too busy making a huge mess... and well... well, it sucks that you lose such great people for such lousy reasons.
