Have you ever seen ANYONE other than jack lord wear a long sleeve Hawaiian shirt? ;-)
Now that you mention it - that *was* odd. I remember seeing him do a "live via satellite" greeting on some network event - possibly the Rose Bowl parade. He was on horseback on a Hawaiian beach - and he was wearing an enormous straw hat with a floral printed hat band that matched his shirt. And a white neckerchief.
My dad was watching that broadcast. From that day forward, he was convinced that Jack Lord was gay.
