(non-de-plume...alias...m.u.c...(Maori undercover cuzzie) Kia a koe 'P'     

He mihi ano matou o Ngatiporou ki a koe mo to manaakitanga mai i a tatou. Ko koe hai awhi,hai hapai...katahi te mea whakakoakoa... katahi te mea whakahari ngakau,ano te pai te ataahua o to mahi nunui..e ko matou mea kaingakau tenei e hoa. Kia pai koe ki tango i nga korero aroha nei.  'P' your guidance and patience with us is a god-send and a humongous blessing... thank you so very much for your super-talented skills in setting this vision alive... your unselfishness and genuine love for all people is an example for us all to follow... also to your family who do not get to see a lot of you thank you so much for letting us steal your daddy away from you every time we call...and to your beautiful wife...thank you for being so understanding... may the lord stand beside you for all eternity... 'ka mohio pu koe ka whakahaerea paitia e ahau nga mea kua tukua mai ki toku ringa ki te awhi atu kia koe hoki... kia maia e hoa.

Papa Len Te Kani
Thank you so much for having the right amount of money in your pocket so that we could get our site up and running when the great webmaster called... a great leader is one who knows how to make the right informed decision and run with it even when wolves are nipping at your heels... how difficult it must have been to try and convince the multitudes that this taonga is worth having...but in the end coming through when it counted... your vision is on a parity with your passion for our iwi... to see things where others fail to see is one of your many great skills, to be able to cross the 'old bridge' as well as the 'new bridge' with sublime ease is a honoured pleasure to witness Len...and to ask nothing of yourself... he rite tonu koe ki nga Rangatira rongonui o Ngatiporou... kia ora ra te papa
