Thanks Jim for this great slide show presentation, pretty neat stuff. You seem to have more information on this internment camp than anyone else. Any idea how many people housed at one time, and how long the internment camp in East Sharp Park continued and the dates?

That was great, Jim! Thanks for sharing these photos and thanks to Jerry Hill's office.

there have been far too many comments that this course is of no historical value. now i challenge those that want to devalue this piece of property to explain to me how an alistar mckenzie designed golf course, AND, a WWII internment camp are not of historical interest. boggles the mind.
