@@kpvcollectionare you actually one of the people that filmed this? If so then thats actually really cool. Thank you for uploading these. It’s awesome that there are footage of my little island as far back as the late 60s to early 70s. I would like to ask just a few more questions after I watch all the videos if thats alright.

@@chakyitsmydog4298 Yes, my husband and I took the photographs. We also made an audio tape for our parents about our trip. A few years ago, I combined the audio tape and the photos to make a video story to share. I was hesitant to share the story, because I wanted to respect people's privacy. However, people advised me that families would not have photos and audio from the 60's and would want to see this. Not like now when people record on their phones! I am happy to try and answer questions, but I turn 80-years-old in October and may not remember. You can use my email if you want [email protected]. Thanks for your encouraging words.

I knew Joe back in the 80s. He would wear just a pair of shorts and flip flops, which was cool, considering that he basically owned the port, a hotel, a bus service etc. I have no idea what became of him.

It is interesting to hear you wonder about what Udot will be like in the future...as a recently returned volunteer serving in Chuuk/Truk lagoon, it seems the islands (with maybe the exception of Moen/Weno) have largely stayed the same. Limited development and electricity, the stores still being little shacks alongside the road, the lush green vegetation, wide starry skies at night. The people's behavior is similar too; the generosity, the singing, the little children wandering everywhere, the girls who can make banana leaf plates very quickly. Your experience of nearly 60 years ago was not too far off from what I would say about my experience today!

Rota is so special and certainly has changed. But a lot of places still remain untouched and the locals still try to hang onto the traditions of our elders. Would you know if Rose was with someone at the time? Maybe his name was Robert? I think at this time she would have had children: Anthony/Tony and Juanit.
