Dear
Today, I am resigning from the F.A.C.A. Board of Directors. I dislike the
incivility, parochialism, nepotism, and violence that all politically active people in
Fern Acres have suffered. My primary reason for this action is to regain my
independence.
The work of the Board is important and I will continue to help,
For the future — I would recommend full integration into the County of
Hawaii.
