The reunion with Ian’s dad was an emotional one as the two have not seen each other for more than twenty five years since the Bougainville crisis. Ian Jnr would often spent Christmas in Arawa where his dad was working and residing. When the crisis erupted the expatriates had to be evacuated down south or their home countries.Ian Snr with then his Bougainvillean wife and three daughters moved to Cairns, Australia. Ian jnr has five half brothers and four half sisters.
After so many years apart, Ian finally met his dad on the 24th December 2013 in Cairns, Australia. It was an emotional reunion as that same year they had just seen the passing of Robert, Ian’s eldest brother. He was very much so instrumental in this reunion. Annemarie was there that day.
