Oprah bought the historic Thompson ranch (60 acres) in Hana, near Keokea.
Grows 100 species of organic produce.
She began buying land in Hawaii in 2003.
At first, locals were upset. Change is hard here.
Charles Lindberg bought his home in Hana, (kipahulu). Buried (1974) in an old graveyard behind an old church. Nothing fancy. I had a hard time finding it for all the weeds around.
Married to a famous author, Anne Morrow. They had lots of kids…
At the same time, had more kids…and 2 more wives, that were sisters, located in Europe. ALL AT THE SAME TIME!
