CAROLINE & JACK THANK JFK RESCUERS

To Orwell Today,

Dear Jackie Jura,

We are again privileged to have Ambassador Caroline Kennedy coming to us this 31st of July. She invited 3 from the Kumana family and 3 from the Biuku family to have dinner with her on Naru. There will be a ceremony on the 1st of August and we are also invited.

Hopefully, we have this opportunity to talk seriously about things.

Last Thursday we also built my grandfather's burial site. I am attaching a few photos of the event.

Regards,
R. Aaron Malakana, July 2023

Greetings Malakana,

That's wonderful news about Caroline coming to visit you.

Please send an email after your visit and I'll share the story with readers -- and hopefully there will be photos too.

I'll be thinking of you on those days.

All the best,
Jackie Jura

To Orwell Today,

Actually, we had dinner with Madam Ambassador and her son Jack. With us were our Provincial Premier and his delegation.

I am on the right in the photo. We exchanged gifts between Madam Ambassador and us. A unique gift was presented to the Ambassador. This was to bond our friendship tie between the Eroni Biuku Kennedy family friendship.

The next day we all went to Kennedy Island to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the sinking of PT109. A bad weather but we managed to complete the ceremony.

Next, after returning home, we are loaded with questions from the immediate family members. Feedback was relayed to them about the Ambassador's speech; thanking our family for being with them.

I also clarified to the family that now they are here to renew the bond of friendship and thank us for all that we the family of Eroni and Biuku have done. I also remind them that they are carrying this memory with them always and pass it on to the next generation.

Now what develops within the family is to organize ourselves to symbolize the friendship tie between the families.

I have attached photos of both families (Eroni and Biuku) invited to see Madam Ambassador.

Check also our ERONI KUMANA BLOG for some of the news I uploaded.

All the best,

Greetings Malakana,

Thank you for the news and photos of your visit with JFK's daughter and grandson. It was a year ago -- last August 2022-- that Caroline visited the Solomons for the first time and promised that she would be back for a personal visit to you and other family members of her father's rescuers.

It was a long hoped-for wish and now it's come true.

All the best,
Jackie Jura

PS - In the news coverage of the Ambassador's meeting with your delegation I recognize you from the photo you sent. You and Caroline are shaking hands at the 2-minute/24-second mark of the video (in swim link below). I remember the first time we corresponded when your grandfather, Eroni Kumana -- JFK's rescuer -- was still alive. It was 12 years ago -- in August 2011 -- when, through the wonder of the worldwideweb, you reached out to ORWELL TODAY saying you'd been reading my JFK and PT-109 articles. See JFK RESCUER KUMANA SENDS GREETINGS. Since then you've been a much-valued correspondent updating the world on the ongoing projects keeping JFK alive in the memory of Solomon Islanders.

Jackie sends greetings to grandson of JFK's 1943 rescuer recalling visit of JFK's daughter & grandson to Solomon Islands in August 2023
