Just a wee piece on the late Te Atairangikaahu's husband (Whatumoana Paki.) An unwavering sense of
duty, loyalty and, devotion to his wife and family. I remember as a kid going down to Waahi Paa, late into the night there would be a light coming from the shed and there was Whatu and his good freinds Paraiho and, Riwai working on a motor or machine of some sort. They were some of the happiest times of my life.Oh yes ! Those the days when Paraiho did his shovel trick. He would have something on a shovel toss it in the air whilst in flight he
would do a circle and recapture the object.
