Pacific Futures Trade Conference

MelRae and I are pictured with Elder Condie and Misa Telefoni who is the Deputy Prime Minister of Samoa. I invited him to the conference by calling directly to the Prime Minister's office. After finding that he was such an intersting guy, I invited him to be a speaker at the banquet on Thursday evening and he was the hit of the entire conference. He presented me with a gift of an official Samoan necktie, Samoa's official tourist book titled, "A gift from Samoa" and a novel that he has authored titled, "Love and Money." Now I have a permanent friend in Samoa!
