Grandpa was 64 yrs. old when he and Grandma 'Ana began raising four of the nine Ka'ili children in Salt Lake City. Tevita is on the right side of the photo. So cute. Eliza (left) was 11, Orson (on Grandpa's lap) was 6 and Tevita was 7 yrs. old when they left their parents and moved from Tonga to Utah.
I love this picture of Grandpa. He was old enough to retire but instead chose to raise these little ones. I think about these three now; the choices they have made as adults and what kind of people they have become. It's amazing how far reaching Grandpa Tonga's influence is. I know he is proud of them.
