Palu celebrated his 69th birthday last month and has been barbering for 45 years. He was Elder John H. Groberg's barber and he has cut the hair of all mission and temple presidents for all these years. He is the uncle of Verna Tukuafu who is an outstanding young mother that works in the Church Service Center and has been most helpful to us. After driving to our home, he offered to cut my hair for nothing, but I paid him $20 Pa'anga (about $10) and he insisted that was way way too much.
I am seated on the back porch of our House #29 on the Liahona campus and the temple is about 100 yards to the east of us.
