In remembrance of their trip to Africa with the Crosby's, Lawrence and Leonora Wood gifted them this fitting box. In 1968, Bing Crosby invited friends 'Trader Vic' Bergeron and his wife Helen along with Lawrence and Leonora Wood on an African Safari in Kenya. Afterwards, Crosby produced a promotional record about their trip that was only available at the various Trader Vic restaurant locations.
