Kia Ora Whanau, Had the pleasure of knowing Papa when I was young up to about 10 years of age before he passed away. My mother Kata Oterangi Baker(nee Walker) was the daughter of Papa JB. When they used to visit us in Valley Rd he always brought lots of fruit. He was always reading. Tena Kotou, Kia Kotou Katoa xxx
