My father is Peter Tom Anderson aka Tame Tame Anihana aka Boyboy. My father's parents are Sarah raua ko Saan (Pouro) Anderson. For years we had a photo hanging on our wall of two soldiers, my father referred to one as the man he was named after. Tom Peter Waiata Bryers. Unfortunately this photo was partly destroyed in a fire. However we have a copy that we will post as soon as I get it off my brother. I am very pleased to come across this profile my father's namesake and my whanaunga. Nga mihi kia koutou katoa. Ohorere Anderson
