Client making a choose...(Linking Problem)

Question

I have made a scanner in which it will ask a client to make a selection.
I'm having troubles on choose 2 thou. I can not figure out how to make it work. Choose 2 is called public void findPerson()
Any help would be great..
class PersonClass {
    private String empid;
    private String lname;
    private String fname;
    private String street;
    private String city;
    private String state;
    private String zip;
    private double payrate;
    private int yearsworked;
    public PersonClass(String id) {
          empid = id;
    public PersonClass(String id, String ln, String fn, String st, String ct, String se, String zp, double pr, int yw) {
         empid = id;
         lname = ln;
        fname = fn;
        street = st;
        city = ct;
        state = se;
        zip = zp;
        payrate = pr;
        yearsworked = yw;
    // accessors
    public String getID() {return empid;}
    public String getFname() {return fname;}
    public String getLname() {return lname;}
    public String getStree() {return street;}

    public String getState() {return state;}
    public String getZip() {return zip;}
    public double getPayrate() {return payrate;}
    public int getYearsworked() {return yearsworked;}
public class EmployeeData {
    static ArrayList<PersonClass> arlist;
    static Scanner kbd;
    public static PersonClass makePerson() {
    public void  findPerson() {
    String id_flag = "";
     Scanner input_flag = new Scanner(System.in);
     System.out.println("Enter your info please ie: AB1234: ");
     id_flag = input_flag.next();
     boolean notfound = true;
     for (PersonClass e : arlist) {
          String emp = e.getID();
          if (emp.equals(id_flag)) {
               System.out.println("Hello" + ("e.lname"));
               notfound = false;
     if (notfound == true) {
          System.out.println("Error - Employee not found");
          // back to menu?
    }//close findperson
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // make array list object
        arlist = new ArrayList<PersonClass>();
        // make a scanner

        int choice;

          System.out.println("1. Enter Employees ");
          System.out.println("2. Find Employees ");
          System.out.println("3. Exit this Program ");
          System.out.print("\nPlease press Enter afer each response");
          System.out.println("Enter your chose please: ");
          choice = kbd.nextInt();
          kbd.nextLine();
          if (choice == 1) { // if 1 is select go to makePerson
        }//close while loop
        if (choice == 2) { // if 2 is select go to find
             EmployeeData.findPerson();
          }//close while loop
        }// close the choice==2
          if (choice == 3) {
          }// close the choice == 3
        // print out all elements of array list
        for (PersonClass idx : arlist) {
             System.out.printf("Employee Id is %n", idx.getID());
                System.out.printf("Name is %s - %s%n", idx.getFname(),idx.getLname());

Answer 1

OK I made the correction that you gave me but it will invoke the findPerson method. It should work because I have done this in the past.
I did a debug and got this error.
