what was in the book. So we came to the assumption that maybe Barbara did —the Hawaiian word for taking something is called `aihue —maybe wen `aihue this book and now Bustin' `em out. So we really don't know what the mana`o is, yeah? So, that is what my secretary said. Chair: My next question is approximately when did this document turn up missing? Nae`ole: According to —I think it would be nice if you ask Gwen that question when she comes up, yeah, because I don't know exactly when that was missing. Dill: Ms. Nae`ole. Nae`ole: Yes? Dill: Mr. Chairman did ask if you did know exactly what these documents pertained to —I think you asked that question, right? Could you elaborate on that? You told us the story that you are unfamiliar with the process of how it disappeared from your office or from Barbara's car, or Gwen's car. But if you could elaborate a little on what's in this file? Nae`ole: This file 19, Exhibit 19? To me, it looked like people who might have donated some stuff to our campaign. You know, really I haven't looked at it really well. It is people who have helped us out, you know, who have supported us during the campaign just by looking at it briefly. Dill: Do you know what these dollar amounts indicated? Nae`ole: I'm not too sure, because it wasn't my paperwork, so I cannot say exactly what it is. Dill: Did you ever see this folder, this Exhibit 19, in the office? Nae `ole: No, no. Dill: Thank you. Nae `ole: You're welcome. Chair: Wasn't these documents, in Exhibit 19, made by Donna Walker? Nae`ole: Yeah. See the thing was, Donna Walker was taking care of my books, for all the finances. Her father had fallen sick and so Donna had to take care of her father. So, Gwen kind of took over for a little while. And then when Donna's father passed away —you know, we were in support of Donna because she was going through her hardship. And so that is why Gwen was involved. She was like the second treasurer person to take hold of the job. Chair: Kendall?
