Denise Darval-Chang wrote, “I, along with three friends, met Michael Jackson on Jan. 24, 1988, at the Kahala Resort, where a friend worked. We had just finished paddling and were enjoying a barbecue when my friend mentioned that Michael Jackson was scheduled for a ‘sunset’ sail.
“We decided to go to the hotel. It was a windy day and not good conditions for a catamaran sail.
“I asked if we could take a picture with him, and he said, ‘OK.’ I handed my old Kodak camera to the haole lady, not knowing who she was, and she took our picture.
“I asked her who the boy was. She said he was from the Make-a-Wish Foundation. The lady I handed the camera to, I was later told, was actress Teri Garr! Her top films include ‘Tootsie,’ ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ and ‘Young Frankenstein.’ They were in Hawaii for a Pepsi convention, as was Michael J. Fox.
“At the time, Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ album was a big hit. In the photo he is dressed in a red long-sleeve shirt, black pants, a belt with ‘MJ’ on the buckle and a red cap. The young boy was dressed just like Michael.
“Michael and I shook hands. He had long fingers and he had a nice, sweet cologne. He was very polite. I was surprised there was no security personnel with him. It was a day I will never forget.”

Description: My Mother (a professional portrait photographer of 35 years) was at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) in the late 70's and captured this photo of Michael prior to boarding a flight.
She made a single print (copy) of this unique photo which has been kept in a safe for 40+ years. The negatives on this photo roll have long since been thrown away and this is the only copy ever to have been produced.
