ABUBUWAN DA ZA KU GUDU DAGA WANNAN LABARI:
- Originally, I had my eye on Naalehu (on the Big Island), where Mark Twain planted a monkeypod tree near the southern-most point in the US.
- My post-doctorate graduate degree is in cultural anthropology, and visiting the Center is like being a kid in a candy store.
- Although I am not Mormon, I get along with them very well, just as I did when I lived in Amish territory in northcentral Indiana.
