Appearances Are Deceiving

Uploaded: February 07, 2013

Description

This 80 year old man has lived on the Hawaiian Islands for 40 years. He was picking up trash on the beach and at first glance appeared to be a vagrant. When I spoke to him I discovered how very educated he was.
He was a sculptor and could converse with you on any topic with a very extensive vocabulary. It really fit the old adage, "Don't judge a book by its cover."
