MD: Greg, and I always compliment that by saying that there is no question there's great potential. As I've mentioned before it has to be Command supported and it's not necessarily just the Lt. Colonel Borce or Shwedo or Warline Richardson or any of the previous commanders. I believe that they all believe that it's a good thing from a community relations perspective this is a win-win for Hawaii Island if we could make that happen but it has to be top down driven and that's why I say we have to get our Senators and Congressmen involved. RH: I have a Camp Perry story for the gentlemen. AA: You got to make it quick. RH: OK. My memory of Camp Perry is driving from our house in Toledo to visit my aunt in Cleveland. We drive right by Camp Perry. And in those days it was a prisoner war camp — all of the Italian and German prisoners were hanging on the chain link fences around Camp Perry. GF: That is so cool because you drove past my house then. I lived in Port Clinton and I've got a picture of my mother when she was about 8 years old standing in front of that fence and her cousin was on the inside. We're German Americans — third generation so... Sad story for us when you see your cousin in a prisoner of war camp there at Camp Perry — so it was kind of a weird thing. I know it well. AA: Thanks Greg, thanks Mike for the information. Keoni Dela Cruz your question? KD: I was talking about the Mile Marker 16, you know, cause I'm a retired federal officer and there's [unclear] police officers on the Island but we have to depend on [unclear] sending somebody over from Oahu to have us host a range and I was told that if you go to Mile Marker 16 you gotta have a hunting license — I'm not going hunting — I'm going to practice. KU: Yeah, I can answer that for you. Kean — District 2. From what DLNR tells me because it's a hunting area and there's no range safety officer — that hunting license if you look at it covers all liability if you get shot or 20
