REPLOGLE: I totally encourage that. That's something that is missing. MASON JR: Yes, [testifier spoke in Hawaiian and Japanese language - inaudible] I understand Japanese very well. I've done business in Japan and China. The thing with the conference center, yes, it is really agreeable and the thing is actually I have actually a commitment with the Principal of Lanai, Mr. Kinoshita and in we are in agreement. I actually wrote a curriculum in Ma ka `61elo Hawaii for Tourism, Hospitality and Customer Services actually for K-12. I already proved it with Drone Education with another company that I have interest in called Kaleo Gold, We are the most far advance in education with Ma ka `61elo Hawaii and English. Right now the military wants kind a in as literally what I did with that company with the kids to actually operate drones. We're creating officers and not grunts when if the kids choose to go into the military they would actually have the chance to become an officer walking into the military. What I'm doing with education, it's part of the testimony but, I can show the proof. It's all in Ma ka `61elo Hawai`i and also English. So, for me the keiki that people are talking about to leaving Hawaii and going to the Ninth Island called Las Vegas. My opinion that we are unable to keep our people here. Where the work force actually would be able to Ma ka `61elo Hawai i and it's not just a Hawaiian thing because there is a lot of people and the inspirational came from this one child back about maybe 29, 26 years ago. He was blonde hair blue eyed white keiki and he actually Ma ka `61elo Hawaii in a Hawaiian Emergent School. No Hawaiian. So, for me it woke me up that it's not just Hawaiian children it's all children of Hawaii that can actually learn `01elo Hawaii and actually be able to work in this force. People actually can experience what I've experience in Japan and China when they speak their mother tongue. RAFFIPIY: Mr. Mason, I just want to make a comment. MASON JR: Sure. RAFFIPIY: I appreciate your insight, cause I've did my share of travel too and I understand that our system here, our airport system is probably not the greatest. It's not very welcoming it's not for travelers. It more yeah, I'm going to leave it as that. My question here is we are Windward Commission, we are talking about Keahole Airport, we talking about Hilo Airport. Is the Leeward Planning Commission are they hearing the same thing right now. MASON JR: I'm on the list of the Hawaiian Homestead Act of 1920. Actually Prince Kuhio is my fourth cousin, I descend from Kapa`akea, Keohokalole. I come from the Kalakaua line. By blood. RAFFIPIY: Thank you. YEE: It'll be on the July 16 agenda. RAFFIPIY: July 16. They going to hear the same. Okay. Any other questions for testifier? Alright. Thank you very much. EXHIBIT C 8
