Rob reports that Bertrand, a Samoan, and his Hawaiian bride, Keonilei Kaniaupio Fairbanks, were married by his father, Rev. Apa Leali’ifano and her mother, Rev. J. Ekela Kaniaupio-Crozier in Honolulu in a lovely Church ceremony, followed by a wonderful reception which included many traditional Samoan and Hawaiian customs.
During his time at Otago Boys’, Bertrand was a music student, member of the choir and a member of the Pacific Island Cultural Group for five years.
In 1998, Bertrand’s mother accompanied Rob and the choir to Auckland to compete in the National Finale of the Big Sing, where a Silver Award was won.
