 This is Mel Witt. A local road side vendor on the northwest side of West Maui. While traveling a few miles beyond the resort areas, you come upon his permanent stand selling pineapples, bananas, banana bread, and just about anything else. We did not speak to each other very long but he said he once played NFL football for which I have confirmed it was for the Boston Patriots. He was drafted in 1967 and played defensive end for 4 years. The stats on the Internet state he had one interception for which he returned for a touchdown. Could have probably stayed a talked all afternoon, but we had other sites to see as well.

His fruit stand is named "At Witt's End".
Here is more on Mel

We bought a small banana bread loaf and some bananas. And he let me take his portrait. Thanks Mel!

This is a nice portrait, but I'm a little distracted by the OOF areas. You have some kind of halo effect going on.
