Israel appeared at the FQ's in Aug 95. I believe it was the 1st time he ever left Hawaii. He weighed 700 lbs. The FQ's paid for him to have 2 1st class seats on the plane. If I remember right we had 5 chips signed. Israel died awhile back. Not sure when. I recently read about some big movie star (DeNiro ?) saying Israel's music was the best he ever listened to.
