DICK JENSEN - A COLLECTION OF PICTURES

Here's a collection of pictures of the sadly missed Hawaiian singer, dancer, actor and performer Dick "The Giant" Jensen. Some pictures were sourced from the Internet, some are from my own collection and are made available here for the first time.

This post is a work-in-progress, I will add more pictures and other memorabilia at a later date.
