Members of the Kupuna Hula Group at the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Senior Center celebrated a special birthday yesterday.

Barbara Johnson, a member of the group since 2008, turned 95! Barbara is a true inspiration to all; she comes to class every week, still performs, and always with a smile and good sense of humor.
