MY  GOLDEN MEMORIES AS A PPK.

  
   At the time as a PPK my memories were an indelible part of my physce as a paru pa kid.
 At the time they may not have seemed significant to me.

But in essence in actual fact,I was witnessing history. 

With names such asTumokai Katipa, 99and the renowned kaumatua with names such as Rua Cooper, 

Pumi Taituha.
All those names have haere ki tua o te arai. Translated it means beyond the veil of death, which means they have died.









 

All the bullshit this young PPK spoke. This young PPK tryed spinning back in the day.

Like when I was young. There I was, a PPK down the pa(marae) hoping to hook up with my other freinds.

Like one monday arriving at school to the shocking news that one of my PP
K buds hung himself. There we were, all stunned by the news. I distinctly
recall arriving at school one monday morning to the news that the teams
star had committed suicide.
