Steve Dagora

Steve Dagora (born 1919) is primarily known because he appeared on a postage stamp of his native Papua in 1932, when he was 13 years old, as the "son of Oala". Steven was educated at the Catholic convent in Koki, a suburb of Port Moresby. He worked with his father both on the farm, and as 2nd engineer on the "M. V. Chinsura". By World War II he had developed a reputation as a competent mechanic. As well as having successful involvement in both the trucking and construction industry, he contributed greatly to his country's agricultural development.
