The photo essay below is the seventeenth
and final installment of a personal account of my two years in Fiji
and Rotuma from October 1959 through August 1961. The main purpose
of this project is to provide photographic images that might be of
interest to contemporary Rotumans. You can see larger versions of the
photos, and print them out by (1) going to http://photo.epson.com/,
(2) type in my e-mail address (alanhoward@hawaii.rr.com) in the box
on the left side of the window labeled "Visit Albums," and
(3) click on "Rotuma60 #17" in the list of Shared Albums.
This will bring up small versions of the photos. Click on a photo and
a large version of it will appear that can be printed.
I have forgotten the names of some of the people who appear
in the photos and would welcome your help in identifying them. Information
identifying people should be sent to <alanhoward@hawaii.rr.com> Please
identify the photos by the numbers (#) in the captions.

Episode
17: Levuka and Cawaci
After leaving Rotuma at the end of December 1960 I returned to Suva,
where I stayed until August 1961. During that time I visited several
other places in Fiji, including Levuka, where I stayed at the
hostel operated by Dr. Aisea Erasito and his wife Marieta. I spent one
day at the Catholic Mission Station at Cawaci, where several Rotuman
nuns were in residence, including Sister Theophile (Rarikue), Sister
Mary Francis Assisi (Mereana), Sister Mary Bernadine (Agsela), and Sister
Mary Felicia (Lusia Mafai). Sister Mary Viana (Monika Marieta) was teaching
at the Loreto School. There were several Rotuman novices at Cawaci as
well.
