Aloha. Maika`i and congratulations to Henry Puna and his `ohana. It's so appropriate to finally have a Cook Islander named as Secretary General of the Forum. I had the honor of being with Cookie Sadaraka and our Premier then Albert Henry in Wellington when the Forum was established - primarily by the leadership of Sir Albert and his friendship with Ratu Mara from Fiji. They were, indeed, such a dynamic force in speaking for the independent Pacific nations. Me Ke Aloha, Hardy
