[Limeysack]

Yes, I recognize Vili...wow he was so much thinner back then! I was at PCC in the 90's too. Hated the place after a few years but now I realize how lucky I was to work there and now I'd do almost anything to go back to that time in my life. Vili used to teach me how to make my bicepts and tricepts bigger over at the school weightroom. I miss going over to the Tonga village after the tour was done and getting some food:) Maile was great!

It's amazing, how much has changed at PCC in the last 20 years. Much more authenticity nowadays, less showiness and false representations. Mahalo for posting this.

I saw your father years and years ago at the Polynesian Cultural Center, and he was like my hero when I went to Hawaii. I never knew he was a chief though! It must have been 12 years ago that I met and saw him. One of the kindest people I'd ever met. Be proud! =D

[SacTownUso]

Samoa always got the best dances!

[RockStar293]

Thats my dad leading the sasa for the Samoa section. RIP. This is the best show they've had at PCC by far. Better than Horizons. I know. I was a part of it. LoL. Das my story. THANK YOU!

[lipine04]

is that Ken?? man he was the man back then in the Samoan group.RIP

[rviena]

Excuse me, but Ken who? I worked at PCC during the 90s for promo team. Your dad taught me fireknife and I danced at Paradise Cove. Did you recognize Vili the Warrior in the blue as the Faaluma?

Soifua,
