I think I've read about this story before. It's awesome. I really like Campolo.

Heard him speak about this live back in High School, but have since heard that it was an illustration and not a real event although he did portray it as a real event.

If this is true, I'm sure someone knows how to find out, it does not change the truth of what he is saying, only kind of removes the umph of the story. *shrugs*

From all the research I can glean, this really happened to Dr. Campolo on a trip to Hawaii. He has shared this for years, and it is even listed on the college website of Eastern University as his story.

Others have used this story without giving Tony proper credit from what I can find.

What evidence can you share to prove Dr. Campolo as a plagiarizer?

I'm pretty sure it's a true story, and I'm pretty sure the speaking engagement in Honolulu was at the Hawaiian Islands Ministries conference my entire staff attends annually.

He told the story here, at that conference, a few years ago. (He speaks at HIM every year.)

I probably know the greasy spoon in Waikiki he is referencing. I wouldn't touch the menus there either, OR eat the food! :shock:
