I have property in Ocean View where I spend my summers with my daughter and friends <br /> from the Mainland. I was raised in Kailua, Oahu before Hawaii was even a state, so I have great respect for the Hawaiian <br /> ways. I have visited the place of my youth, but it has changed. Now, it is a busy, crowded city...the island is busy and <br /> <br /> crowded. This southern part of the Big Island is how I remember old Hawaii The reason I bought property there was to <br /> live that life again in the peace and gentleness of this land and to introduce my family to the Hawaii I love. Everytime I <br /> go to Punaluu, the turtles are there also, at peace with the short time visitors. The local children and their families <br /> are picnicing to the left of the beach, the tourists are to the right in seeming harmony. The tourists seem to respect this <br /> place and the residents, turtles and the local people. don't let this change! We need this place for our future <br /> generations! The turtles and all of island nature need this place! The Hawaiian culture is so unique and has so few <br /> places of it's own left on the planet. This sacred place needs to be preserved! <br /> Marci <br /> AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at AOL.com. <br /> cam, ~ .3~3 <br /> Ref.
