QVS Students

Jesoni Vitusagavulu
Vitu was one of my favorite students. He was full of questions and interested in almost everything. So we saw a lot of each other outside of the classroom. He had a rival for best results the two years he spent at QVS; luckily Akariva was also his best friend. The three of us had many a good conversation. Jesoni left QVS in 5th form and went to Marist. 1973 he won a book at The National Quiz - answering an audience question about Laika. I left and went to New Zealand but we wrote to each other for a couple years. Sometime in the '90s I was told that he was in Auckland with Air Pacific. That job took him to all sorst afof places. Then the next I heard he was the Fiji Ambassador to the US, Canada, Mexico and Cuba. And I am not surprized.
Update: Jesoni was removed from his Ambassadorship mid 2007 by Bainimarama. Got his green card and staying in the States as a consultant. He had been to Israel a couple times and named a daughter after a city there.
