Moa Hapeta never father'd any children those day's men that could'nt father children were known as dry balls. What Moa has done was to marry wemen with children then adopted the children to give them the family name Hapeta. My dads dad. Pokaitara is laid to rest at Rahiri Urupa Moa Hapeta is also there with some of his adopted offspring Morgan Mapeta and others. Morgan and I were great mates as teens we got into a lot of mischeif as teen boy do. Morgan died following an accident Moa Hapeta house at Onehunga. There seem to be a lot of jealousy towards my dad by Moa Hapeta I feel its because my dad had children. Moa Hapeta went to court judge Nicolson and told him my dad got killed in the war and that he had no children, I was told some thing was going on about my Das House and section where me and my little brother Carole at the time used to stay. I got to see judge Nicolson and told him who I was he thourght I was lying because Moa had told him my Dad had no children and so he let Moa Hapeta dispose of my dads house and section. they had a raffle and the Smith family won the raffle. the Smith family are still there today as far as I know. all this can be found on the court files. these Smiths are Michael Prodgers relatives.    

Brothers Tom and Dick Harris. Pomare brothers, Ben and Saan they both had families. The Cleave family had the Horeke store that catered for all your needs, like normal groceries to hose bridles, hose shoes adald shoes gumboots. they did my dads photo's befor he went over seas. Eric Grey had the Dairy, petrol pumps mechanic garage workshopo.  Alf Hartley ran the Horeke picture threatre it used to cost me a shilly to go to the pictures, no fancy seats just the old fationed long forms with no backs. so we all milked the cows srubbed the cow shit off our gumboot combed our hair down with coe teat grease got on our horse and all went to the pictures. those were gread days. Jack McKarthie had a couple of big cattle trucks and got a couple of his boys Joe etc to collectpeople from Motukiore, Utakura and Okaihau to go to the horeke pictures and to take the m home again no charge. What a great man he was, he just did this for the people no charge that was the type of man Jack McKarthey was. they wrer on the horeke motukiore road on the Waima River. 

Before my dad went to war he worked as a farmhand for Robbie Harris.The farm was on the Horeke / Motukiore rd. My mum, dad and Waiata Curry lived in a small white house on the right side of the road going to Motukiore. My mum's dad Mitch Curry built my mum and dads house on our section on a hill looking down to water. Growing up in the country was a lot of fun. Going to the pictures on horses and only 3d (three pennies) to get into the Pictures. Granpa Curry used to go to the Horeke Hotel with 10 shilling's $1.oo. get blind drunk and still go home with change in his poket. I stopped dinking the day I got married to Marlene.used to cost one and thrupence a jug those day's. My step Dad Paul Popata (Pua)was alway's kind and friendly and backed me in all I wanted to do. I ended up with a few Businesses retail outlets one in Mangere one at Royal Oak. Top Mark Mowers and Topmark Finance. 

I was alway's a workaholic and alway's had good jods' I worked all year round for Westfield Freezing works. Then an English fim G.K.N. got up to Quality Control Inspector went to Mason and Porter, parts and trouble shooter. James Hardy. buyer for the Company than Accounts department. Thats when I saw the loop hole if you had your own company. That's what gave me that extra push to start out on my own. I will be 76 years this November. Wow I really had a great life and have a lot of good memories.
