If you see him around Carp, say hi for us. I have been to Hawaii a few times to see my uncle when he lived there. If I had known you then, I'd have looked you up.

Yep been in the local news for awhile now.
To be honest - no one here gives a shiit, just another fat cat.
Reminds me of the story where Bill Gates used to rib his friend Murdock, that he has more wealth than he does - Murdock come back line (Bill you don't own an island) - now its Larry turn

Here is a weird thought....if someone owns an island could that person set up his own country on that island and become independent of any state. Or does a state always own the property forever and people just think they own the land that sits on property of the state

Humm
I guess if your an American Indian, I suppose you could apply for native land rights and then govern your own like an independent state. Other wise you would own the land as a private owner but still have to abide by state laws.
