Faleasao

Faleasao is a small village on Ta'u,  one of three islands making up the Manua Island chain located in American Samoa.  This small island is where my father was born almost 70 years ago.  Although much has changed in the rest of the world,  Faleasao remains a family oriented community, rich in culture and overflowing all of the necessities for a full & happy existence. 
This is a my Dad!  Everyone calls him "Tippy," short for Titipa.  His full name is Titipa Pine Tualemoso.  He only has one living sister, of 9 children,  Fuala'au.  My dad has spent all of his adult years in Long Beach California.  His sister lives in A village in American Samoa called Vatia.
