This chapter is dedicated to James Patterson Priestley, the third child and second son of William and Kate Priestley. From humble beginnings, but with the love and support of his parents and siblings, Pat became a well respected leader, husband and father. He dedicated his life to country, community and family, and through all these endeavors and the well deserved accolades that came his way, he stayed humble throughout.We would like to thank Uncle Pat's family for allowing us to share his life story, and of course, Uncle Bill Paku for his invaluable input and unique perspective into the life of this tipuna we are all proud to call, "one of our own".Any corrections, additional information, pictures or stories relevant to this chapter can be submitted via the contacts in the footer section of this page. Accreditation is given, where applicable. Many thanks to all those who have contributed.
