EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!
Letting my friends/advisors know the following letter was sent to a

Re: Out of Court Settlement for Idea,
Information Utilized
For Movie "JURASSIC PARK" and
the movies based
On the "JURASSIC PARK" theme,
including "THE
LOST WORLD"
Greetings!
My name is Amelia Kuulei Gora living on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii.
Compensation for my Information/ideas that I had while speaking with
the writer, Michael Crichton is due.
The basis or my information/ideas was used in the movie(s) (and book
(s)) "JURASSIC PARK".
The basis or my information/ideas were also used for the
followup/sequel movies (and books) "THE LOST WORLD".
The movies were filmed, and directed by the marvelous Steven
Spielberg.
Michael Crichton gave me his name and number scribbled on a paper,
and he knew my name also. He asked me what college was I attending…
told him University of Hawaii at Manoa. I believe he still remembers
me.
Background
I went to Washington, D.C. for a research conference. I was a
student researcher for the Haumana Program, part of the Pacific
Biomedical Research Program. (Verification may be made at the
University of Hawaii at Manoa – PBRC program for dates.) I attended
the Washington Symposium utilizing a Federal grant, which included
flights to and from, hotel, meals, etc.

While in Washington, I visited many places, including the Museum.
I met good looking, disarming Michael Crichton and his pretty
girlfriend and told them that they were a good looking couple.
It was at the exhibit of those cute baby Triceratops (?), partially
hatched and full dinosaur eggs. I remember gawking and scrutinizing
the exhibit and shared my thoughts with the good looking couple after
I noticed how everyone stared at the exhibit, almost hoping to see
the creatures move/come alive, hoping just like I.
I moved to my right and stared and gawked at the mosquito imbedded in
the aged resin and they came over to peer in also. That's when I
told them that it would be so neat if one could tap into the mosquito
and remove the DNA molecules and figure out what kind of creatures it
had feasted on. Of course the DNA was also solidified so it would
not be possible but it would make a good movie.
We discussed the DNA, and chatted about the Scientific Symposium that
I had attended.
The couple headed toward the large hall, and I followed shortly
behind. The cutey stopped, left his friend and returned to me
with excitement in his eyes, his voice and asked me what period did I
think it was the Crestacean, Pleistocene(?)*** period or Jurassic
period. Told him I think the Jurassic?
I had to head back to the visitor bus and meet my friends because we
were on a whirlwind tour and heading back.
Michael scribbled out his name, number and excitedly asked more
questions. (I felt uncomfortable for a good looking guy handing me
his phone number while his FRIEND was only a short distance away.)
Told him that I was a student researcher from Hawaii/University of
Hawaii at Manoa and on a Biochemistry Research Symposium in
Washington, D.C. and had to hurry back.
At the top of the stairs overlooking an enormous hanging dinosaur
skeleton, he asked me………if it were a movie, how would it turn out?
Told him it would have to have a family who were trying to escape. I
continued to walk down the stairs while turning to talk with them and
stated that they would jump on the skeleton and all of the bones
would collapse and fall to the ground…..and that would be a neat
ending…….
There were a lot a people around who heard me, including a boy of 12-
14 who stood out because like Michael and his friend, his eyes
were as wide as saucers wanting to hear more. Perhaps, even the
security guards leaned over to hear about the utter destruction of
their aged skeletal display. Their display became a catastrophic
mess in the minds of all who heard. It became a challenge to the
young and old because it was simply unheard of.
I left the place with the imaginations of many ing the halls,
their minds open like a "Pandora's box" unleashed.
That was fun! It was exhilarating to overstep the sciences and move
towards a creative one, which both of you have excelled and succeeded
in making it real in the film world.
For that bit, I feel, think, and believe that it's truly fair to be
given a fair amount of compensation. For without the basis,
information/idea which was given, such a movie would not have come to
fruition….and that would be sad indeed.
Additionally, I look forward to the gawking faces of my five (5)
children, and my long time friend who had dared to give me his phone
number in 1990. That was three (3) years after Michael Crichton had
given me his phone number.
On numerous occasions, my friend laughed and ridiculed me for my
memories, my ideas, and information. He laughed at my detailed story
of the dinosaurs, talking about events of the movie.
(My friend also laughed and continues to laugh(!) about my ideas of
the safety surfboard leash. In the past (1972), some Japanese
surfer's from Kaneohe (Wayne Yonamine, Craig Arakaki, and Norman
Murakami) had laughed and made fun of my suggestion too. It was in
the interest of saving lives because Norman (and many others) nearly
drowned. He was one of the lucky ones.) As it turned out, one of
their friends had taken up the suggestion and developed the leash as
suggested by myself. My suggestion, because I worked at Sears
Sporting Goods part time at the time, was to utilize the cord with a
line with one end connected to the board and the other utilizing
velcro tied to the foot. Because the surfboard is an island, I
explained. They belittled and laughed at me and said, `the board
crashes downward, tied to the board one can get injured', told
them, `dive stupid' (had gotten irritated by them). They asked, `how
do you tie it to the board' ---told them the skeg and they laughed
saying `the skeg comes off easily'---told them `hey you guys make
boards, just DO IT!' ---well someone is surely laughing their way to
the bank! For now…---The point is is that, that too was a good idea
by a part Hawaiian female!)
(Even my part Hawaiian surfing friend uses the surfboard leash and
laughs that off! He does not believe and I am willing to let him
meet/talk with those guys too!)
You're welcome to call me a creative advisor, if you will, one that
has been unpaid for a long time. I also have a wealth of ideas that
could turn into more movies if you like.
Please feel free to discuss payments, etc. with my representative
attorney. He has been hired as a contingent attorney.
Alternatively, in the event that Michael Crichton denies obtaining
the information/ideas from me, the entire issue will be exposed to
the public along with many ongoing, important issues
in/about/surrounding Hawaii.
I am the editor of the news on the web called the IOLANI – The Royal
Hawk which is currently exposing corruption in entities, Government
(s), the illegal dethroning of Queen Liliuokalani, the Kingdom of
Hawaii, antiwar issues which reaches many around the world. Truth
and honesty is the news. I also have a controversial website:
http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/GORA8037
I am also a writer of Hawaiian History and genealogy books. Hawaii's
history affects the world today. You're welcome to download some of
my writing's at yahoogroups.com under hawaiian_genealogy_society-akg .
My history and genealogy books are sold at the University of Hawaii
at Manoa bookstore.
If you google.com my name "amelia gora or amelia kuulei gora" there
are also many topics there. Other search machines will also pick up
topics.
There are even published articles at the British Medical Journal
site/ www.bmj.com see "The Mummies Curse", etc. That in itself would
make an interesting movie as well.
It would be an honor for Michael Crichton and Steven Spielberg to
consider making a movie about Hawaii and the affects on the World
today.
Please consider more challenges to the minds and imaginations of
many, and even those with an anti-war stance. You will be remembered
by many, many more who believe and rely on Truth these days.
There are many Royal families, activists (Kingdom of Hawaii, antiwar,
nuclear free, etals.), foreign government officials, writers
(including Michael Moore, John Kaminski, Jeff Rense, etals. who
contribute to the news on the web), college professors, students,
etals. who read the weekly news from Hawaii.
Your expeditious reply will be greatly appreciated.
Aloha,
Amelia Kuulei Gora
Ps. A face to face meeting would be acceptable. I wouldn't mind
seeing you, the cutey, handsome Michael Crichton again. Hope you got
married to the pretty you were with….your children must be good
looking too.
All of the above is true, correct to the best of my knowledge.
Also, I am a Royal person not subject to the laws, one of the
descendants of Kamehameha, Queen Liliuokalani, Kahekili of Maui,
Kaumualii of Kauai, John Young, Isaac Davis (Kamehameha's counselors)
et als. Descendant.
(Note and Comments:
Pursuit of TRUTH is necessary is these days. Aloha and Happy
Holidays! Have a Safe, Family, Friends Holidays! )

Do you think they want the World to know that the Hawaiian Kingdom exists?
Do you think they would want everyone to know that there are the true owners, and many are actually talented, creative individuals who have indeed contributed to the imagination to many, although Crichton ran with the ideas?
Do you think they would want to know that the contribution of surfboard safety was made by a Kamehameha descendant who thought of saving lives was at the basis of the safety leash?
Well folks.............there's more talent, creativity, etc................but you'll have to read all of the issues of The IOLANI - The Royal Hawk news on the web to get some of the ideas or read the thousands of articles, the books, pamphlets or wait for upcoming projects .....................
aloha.
