He said the current developers had submitted a plan that was rejected. I think he said it was a mid-western located group and they had no clue about Hawaii. The place must retain a spirit of Hawaii for their plan to be accepted. He mentioned Queen Emma, saying they would never sign off on a plan that was not "Hawaiian" in theme. They were so clueless that much time was spent tracking him down to ask if he would get involved to put them on the right track. Bob was close friends with Donn Beach and used to have his own key to the Tree House. He has done may projects on the islands. But he is 84 years old! So, they are coming to Hawaii to show their presentation to his colleague and maybe he can help them. [ Edited by: Swanky 2012-02-27 08:58 ]
