RECHTMAN:I only refer to it as that because I know the Mueller family and I know that they at one time owned it. I think the last name of the ownership was different though. VITOUSEK:Okay. And that's also the property that Ms. Kimi Cook has a home on, isn't that correct? RECHTMAN:Correct. VITOUSEK:And so that property is currently developed with a single family home, is that correct? RECHTMAN:Correct. VITOUSEK:And then you made a reference to moving the cereus vege and looking at a rock wall in that area, isn't that correct? RECHTMAN:Correct. VITOUSEK:And can you tell us what you did and what your findings were? RECHTMAN:We, with a small backhoe. VITOUSEK:You can probably refer to the other map, as well. It's larger scale. RECHTMAN:Yeah. VITOUSEK:The adjacent -. RECHTMAN:Trying to orient myself on this one. Okay. With a sma this whole makai portion of the property had been overgrown in cereus cactus, so we went in and essentially removed from the surface all of the cereus cactus that we could easily get to. There was a couple of patches we couldn't get to because there were old cars underneath it. So we cleared all of that, located a stone wall on the south property boundary adjoining the current Cook property, which would have been the northern boundary wall to the walled in cemetery area; and we excavated a single test unit more or less in the center of the cleared area of the makai edge of the property, central to where that cereus cactus was growing. VITOUSEK:Okay. And so would you, you said that that wall former enclosed, well, that's a portion of the wall that formerly enclosed the Mueller family cemetery, is that correct? RECHTMAN:That's, from the oral information, that's what we got. other remnants of that wall exist on the other side of the property here and a small piece that joins across is still left. 20
