Aloha Mr. Chun

I just saw in the sidebar on Wired News that Ellery Chun has, at age 91, gone to join the big luau in the sky. Before reading this I didn't know that the creation of the Hawaiian shirt (or "Aloha Shirt" as he first named it) could be credited to just one person.

If there's an afterlife that rewards good deeds, then the number of smiles brought to earth by these outrageously colorful shirts pretty much guarantees that there will be a beach, a beautiful sunset, some nice music, and a really big drink in a coconut waiting for him on the other side.
