Author of Bygebok quotes from a speech by Leiv Nutheim given at a birthday party for Per when he was 80 yrs old in 1933.


He has been [active] in everything and given advice and direction - both in the parish and politics (Per S Grue was for many years a member of municipal council], and youth activites and all good things. The national movement [?] was [always] difficult for him, but he had a strong instinct for [the needs] for the farmers. [ ???? He always react strongly against it ufolkelge and silly ???? ]. As a young man he came to Sagatun "folk high school". The [his] present outlook [became positive] as it had for many of the peasant boys. It is said that he was sharp and at the same time had welcoming to eyes when he was at Sagatun. I believe that the sharp eyes have [come from] his time in storms in the mountains when the mountain farmer must stare like a hawk to see the small glimpses that might mean [be between] recovery or flight. And the warmth in the eyes, he has from midday sun [?] that and sparkled in the white snow over Synner-Hogna in the winter time.

[ Han har fylgt vaken med i alt og gjeve råd og rettleiding - både i bygdens politikk [Per S Grue var mange år medlem av herredsstynet] og ungdomssak og alle gode saker. Det nasjonale momentet veg alltid tungt for han, og der folkelege sunde bondeinstinktet i han er serleg sterkt. Han reagerer alltid sterkt mot det ufolkelge og jålete. Som ung mann kom han til Sagatun folkehøgskule. Det na utsynet framover og attover for han som for så mange andre bondegutar. Det er sagt at det kvasse og på same tid milde i augo har han frå Sagatun. Eg trur at det kvasse i augo har had ifrå storstormen inne på fjellet da fjellbonden må stira som ein falk etter dei små gløttene som imillom kan opne seg til bergingsvon og frelse. Og det varme i augo har han frå middagssolspelet og glitret i den kvite snøen over Synner-Hogna vinterdagan
