Retired faculty members constitute a largely underutilized resource for UH. The starred names in this list were included in the "Fabulous Faculty" manifesto demonstrating that "...the University of Hawai'i has grown into a world-class research university." Entries in this Registry demonstrate the continuing productivity of our retired faculty members. The University could benefit greatly if they would call upon retirees to help more in many different capacities. But reciprocity is needed to enhance the motivation for retirees to want to serve the University.

All retirees -- see MASTER LIST -- are invited to submit information about themselves to Fred Riggs -- contact him at: <fredr@hawaii.edu>. Underlined hyperlinks take viewers to Web Sites with related information, including sites recording their pre-retirement careers and achievements. Ideally such data is posted on Department sites, but when that's unavailable, any other relevant location is hyperlinked. When no existing web-site provides career information for a registrant, they may supply a c.v. for inclusion in our ANNEX.

The Fabulous Faculty report, 1997, listed 100 distinguished UH achievers with a few lines about each and their accomplishments -- most are still teaching and some -- at least ten by 2007 -- have retired. They remain hale, active and willing to volunteer. A star following their names identifies those mentioned in the 1997 report.

LIBRARY COPIES. If the UH library has any publication by a retiree, references to it can be found in Hawaii Voyager. Just click on this link, choose your "search type" and then write your request for catalog entries. Be sure to invert your name and give its full form, with initials, because you may well find that other authors also have the same name -- for example, there are many "Barbara Smith"s but only one "Barbara B. Smith". Also, check "author", "title," etc. in the right hand window. This is a free service anyone can use. Moreover, if you click on a title, you'll find which UH libraries have copies and whether they are available or have been borrowed.

ENTRIES PROVIDED BY RETIREES

 

• Isabella Aiona Abbott * recently received two major awards: the Ke Alii Pauahi Award of the Kamehameha Schools in 2003, and the Honpa Hongwanji Living Treasure Award in Feb. 2005. They join many other earlier awards including the prestigious G. M. Smith Award of the National Academy of Sciences. This 85-year-old researcher and author of more than 150 scientific papers and eight books is regarded as one of the world's leading taxonomists of marine algae from many coasts and seas, and a major contributor in the Hawaiian islands. She and her husband retired from 30 years at Stanford University and returned to Hawaii in 1982. She was appointed as the Wilder Professor of Botany at Manoa to teach ethnobotany which became a key in the revival of Hawaiian culture through the protection of traditional plants and perpetuation of ancient knowledge about their cultivation and use. As a commissioner for the revitalization of Kaho'olawe, she has been instrumental in doubling the plant life on the island since its demilitarization. She still is an active researcher at UH and Bishop Museum, where she serves on the board of directors.

• Robert Baker Aitken. Though not a faculty member, he had close associations at UH and was especially active in the Religion Department, becoming a world leader in Zen Buddhism. His autobiography sheds light on significant events and personalities at UH and his writings are important sources for understanding Zen in Hawaii and America.

Abe Arkoff, UH emeritus professor of Pschology, is best known for the Illuminated Life Workshop Program which he originated and regularly conducts through OLLI the Osher Lifelong Learning Insitute.

Hollis Publication Award, Association for Humanistic Education and Development. For a full description of his post-retirement work go to the Annex.

• Geoff Ashton. I retired as Professor of Genetics and Molecular Biology in December of 1995. I started my professional career before the nature of the gene was known and indeed before the number of human chromosomes was established. I ended my career just as the Human Genome Project was getting started. It was apparent that without an active research lab and funded projects it would be impossible to make any further significant contributions to Genetics. So, in retirement I chose to travel and visit many of the human populations that I had studied and lectured about in my graduate courses. With my wife, I have traveled to all seven continents and over 130 countries. My hobby is videography. I have made travel documentaries of many of our trips, and these have been shown to a number of groups. I remain active in the British Commonwealth Club of Hawaii, the English Speaking Union, and the Adventurers' Club of Honolulu in which I am currently Program Chair. I look forward to serving as Liaison for retired faculty on the Faculty Senate's Committee on Academic Policy and Planning.

Duane Bartholomew.Retired 1997 from Dept. Agronomy and Soils Science (since merged TPSS) My web page extends information on pineapple to the pineapple community throughout the tropics. It includes Pineapple News, a newsletter I produce for the Pineapple Working Group, Section on Tropical and Subtropical Crops, International Society for Horticultural Science. It goes by email and snail mail to about 400 scientists and growers in about 40 countries. In 2004 I was elected Vice Chair, Section on Tropical and Subtropical Crops, ISHS International Society for Horticultural Science. I continue to do research on control of naturalflowering of pineapple in cooperation with our local pineapple companies with five tests installed in company fields in 2004-5. I continue to help teach TPSS 200 and built and maintain the class web site.

  DONALD CHAR. Unable to fund family planning services for students enrolled at the university, through grants from the graduating class of 1970 and the ASUH, I set up a free standing clinic on campus, utilizing volunteers. Later on, this family planning clinic found funding through state and federal grants.

  In 1985, recognizing the severe problems created by the newly emerging infection of HIV-AIDS, I initiated a task force made up of faculty, students, and staff to confront this crisis. The University administration adopted the recommendations, incorporating them into the Executive policy, procedures, and regulations.

  In 1990, sponsored and promoted a community wide conference discussing the need to promote a sense of wellness on campus.

  HENRI JEAN CHARLOT(1898-1979), born in Paris, was descended from those he would later refer to as "sundry exotic ancestors". His father, Henri, was a French businessman, free-thinker and Bolshevik sympathizer born and reared in Russia. Anna, his mother, an artist and a devout Catholic, was the daughter of Louis Goupil, a native of Mexico City. After living, studying and working for many years in France, Mexico and the United States, Charlot settled in Hawaii. He was eulogized by the Hawai'i State Legislature in House Concurrent Resolution 153 which "enshrines the memory of Jean Charlot in the hearts and minds of the people of Hawai'i." He was recognized as a distinguished artist, teacher, art historian, author, and philospher.

  After many years of study, work and travel, mainly in France, Mexico, and the United States, he received an invitation to create a fresco at the University of Hawai'i. This brought him to Honolulu in 1949 where he painted Relation of Man and Nature in Old Hawai'i (10' x 29') on the first floor of the administration building, Bachman Hall. He accepted a position as professor of art at the University, and Hawai'i became the Charlot family's permanent home. Charlot found himself greatly attracted to the culture of the native Hawaiian, just as he had been interested in the folk aspects of the residents of rural France and the indigenous peoples of Mexico. He studied Hawaiian history, customs, and religion and learned the Hawaiian language, writing plays in Hawaiian: Na Lono Elua (Two Lonos), 1965, a three-act bilingual play about Captain Cook, also published as a one-act play in English, and Laukiamanuikahiki, (Snare That Lures a Farflung Bird), a short bilingual play in Hawaiian and English in 1964. (The latter was published with Two Lonos by the University of Hawai'i Press in 1976 with the title Two Hawaiian Plays.) Three Plays of Ancient Hawai'i, in English are Na'auao (The Light Within), U'i A U'i (Beauty Meets Beauty), and Moa A Mo'i (Chicken into King), also with illustrations by Charlot (Honolulu: University of Hawai'i Press, 1963).

  From 1949 to 1979 Charlot created almost six hundred easel paintings, several hundred prints, and thirty-six works of art in public places in fresco, ceramic tile and sculpture. He taught summer sessions at several schools, among them San Diego State College (1950), Arizona State University (1951) and the University of Notre Dame (1955 and 1956). In 1950 he was made faculty advisor to the Newman Club, the Catholic student organization of the University of Hawai'i.

  Selected exhibitions include the Charlot retrospective, "Fifty Years, 1916-66," at the Honolulu Academy of Arts (1966); a retrospective in his honor, "Obras Pictoricas de Jean Charlot," at the Museo del Arte Moderno in Mexico City (1968), which was part of the cultural program of the XIX Olympiad; "Paintings, Drawings and Lithographs by Jean Charlot," at the Georgia Museum of Arts, University of Georgia (1976); and the "Jean Charlot Retrospective," (1976), sponsored by the Hawai'i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts to honor the artist on his 78th birthday and to mark the publication of the catalogue raisonn?, Jean Charlot's Prints, by Peter Morse (Honolulu: University of Hawai'i Press, 1976).

  The Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Star-Bulletin published approximately 160 articles of art criticism written by Charlot from 1952-71. Other publications by Charlot include Choris and Kamaehameha (Honolulu: Bishop Museum Press, 1958); Mexican Art and the Academy of San Carlos, 13785-1915 (Austin: University of Texas Press, 1962); Jos? Clemente Orozco, El Artista en Nueva York: Caras a Jean Charlot y Textos Ineditos (Mexico City: Siglo Veintiuno, 1971, and the English version, Austin: University of Texas Press, 1974); and an anthology of Charlot's journal publications, An Artist on Art: Collected Essays of Jean Charlot (2 vols., Honolulu: University of Hawai'i Press, 1972). He created weekly cartoons for the Catholic paper The Sun-Herald in 1950-51 and, from 1957-79, weekly syndicated Catholic cartoons. An anthology of Charlot's newspaper cartoons for the Catholic press, Cartoons Catholic: Mirth and Meditation from the Brush and Brain of Jean Charlot, appeared in 1978.

  Charlot's talents were also realized in the medium of sculpture. Among the works in public collections is a statue of Father Damien (45") cast in 1967 in bronze and installed at St. Anthony's Church, Wailuku, Maui, in 1980. With Evelyn Giddings, he created an 8' copper plate champlev? enamel sculpture for Moanalua Intermediate School in Honolulu titled In Praise of Petroglyphs (1972-73). Charlot sculptures in ceramic are Madonna and Child (5') at St. Francis Hospital, Honolulu (1959); Sacred Heart (7'5"), St. William's Church, Hanalei, Kaua'i (1969); Ali'i Nui, or High Chief (9'), Ala Moana Hotel, Honolulu (1971) and Madonna and Child (15') for Maryknoll School, Honolulu (1978-79).

  Charlot also employed ceramic for murals: fourteen ceramic tile panels, each 2' x 4', were used in Way of the Cross for St. Sylvester's Church, Kilauea, Kaua'i (1956) and another Way of the Cross, 3' x 2' in ceramic tile, for St. Catherine's Church in Kapa'a, Kaua'i in 1958. Ceramic tile panels were used both indoors and outdoors at St. Francis Hospital to illustrate various religious topics (1959). St. Gabriel, a 3' x 2' ceramic tile panel, was made in 1959 to be placed over the entrance of St. Gabriel's Church in Charlotte, North Carolina. Other ceramic tile murals are Night Hula (9' x 15') at the Tradewind Apartments, Honolulu, in 1961, and seven exterior panels (four 11' x 13' and three 8' x 13'), depicting workers on the job and various union activities on the School Street fa?ade of the United Public Workers Building, Honolulu (1970-75).

  A mosaic mural, Piet? (6 1/4' x 10 3/4'), for the Parish Center of St. John the Evangelist Church, Morristown, New York, was unveiled in 1962. Way of the Cross, a Styrofoam reverse sculpture consisting of fourteen panels, each 20' x 16', was cast in situ with the cement wall of the Church of St. John Apostle and Evangelist, Mililani, O'ahu, in 1971. Episodes from the Life of Christ, thirty-two copper repouss? panels, each 18" x 19", were executed in collaboration with Evelyn Giddings for the doors of Thurston Chapel, Punahou School, in 1967-75. Residents of Hawai'i enjoy viewing many of Charlot's fresco murals in locations throughout the State. Early Contacts of Hawai'i with the Outer World (11' x 67') was painted in 1951-52 at the Waikiki branch of Bishop Bank. (This later became First National and then First Hawaiian Bank.) In 1966, when the building was destroyed, this mural was divided into smaller panels. Charlot executed Commencement (10' x 36'), on the second floor of Bachman Hall, University of Hawai'i (1953); Chief's Canoe (8' x 20'), Catamaran Cafe, Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel, Honolulu (painted in 1956; since removed from the wall); Compassionate Christ (10' x 7'), St. Catherine's Church, Kapa'a, Kaua'i (1958); Inspiration, Study, Creation (15' x16'), Jefferson Hall, East-West Center, Honolulu (1967); Battle of the Malinches (4' x 8'), Maryknoll Elementary School, Honolulu (1967); Angels in Adoration (10' x 19'), Grace Episcopal Church, Ho'olehua, Moloka'i (1967). In 1974, Charlot painted the fresco mural The Relation of Man and Nature in Old Hawai'i (23' x 104') at Leeward Community College, O'ahu and, in 1978 another fresco for Maryknoll Elementary School, Christ and the Samaritan Woman at the Well (5' x 4').

  Charlot retired from the University of Hawai'i as Senior Professor Emeritus in 1966. Two years later, he traveled to France for the first time since 1921 and, at Malz?ville and Paris, created a series of lithographs. In 1968 the Jean Charlot Foundation was established in Honolulu to collect source materials relating to the life, work, art, philosophy, and values of Jean Charlot and promote publication of Charlot material. The Foundation, which also had as its stated purpose the "development of interest in the arts, encouragement of artists, and study of art," has sponsored art exhibitions and other art events, and presented various scholarships and prizes for excellence in art to Hawai'i artists.

  Among the honors bestowed on Charlot was the election by the Royal Society of Art, London, as a Benjamin Franklin Fellow in 1972. In 1976, the Hawai'i State Legislature presented Charlot with the Order of Distinction for Cultural Leadership. In June of that year, Charlot was among a distinguished group of persons recognized by the Living Treasure Committee, sponsored by the Living Treasure Committee, sponsored by Honpa Hongwanji Mission, for "contributions to Hawai'i's culture and the preservation of Hawaiiana." Charlot, known as "Palani" among his Hawaiian friends, was named a "Living Treasure" for his paintings and murals showing Hawai'i's culture.

  In 1974, Charlot was diagnosed as having cancer of the prostate. Radiation treatments and chemotherapy would keep the disease under control for the next four years. Confined to a wheelchair during the last months of his life, Charlot nonetheless remained active as an artist and a scholar until his death on March 20, 1979. His last article on Posada ("Jos? Guadalupe Posada and His Successors," in the catalogue Posada's Mexico, edited by Ron Tyler for the Library of Congress and Amon Carter Museum of Western Art, 1979) was published posthumously; the catalogue and exhibition were dedicated to Charlot's memory.

• Ben Finney *. Since retiring I have published a pair of books. Sailing in the Wake of the Ancestors (2003) is about the revival of Polynesian voyaging that I helped start some decades back. In the context of the voyage of six reconstructed Polynesian voyaging canoes from the Marquesas Islands 2,000 nautical miles to Hawai’i, it “ tells the story of how Hawaiians and other Polynesians have struggled to become deep-sea voyagers again, and how their experiences are helping them to face contemporary problems with renewed pride and courage.”Surf Culture: the Art History of Surfing (2002), is a co-authored work written for the first ever art exhibition on the ancient Hawaiian (and now international) sport of he’e nalu, which was held at the Laguna Art Museum -- "Surf Culture Redux" -- and then traveled to Honolulu’s Contemporary Museum and other venues in the U.S. and Australia. Currently I am writing key chapters in a book, Waka Moana — Voyaging Canoe, which will be published in 2006 for an exhibition of the same name to be held at New Zealand’s Auckland Museum and then will travel to Asian, European and North American venues. He has received medals from Russia's Tsiolkovsky Space Museum, Britain's Royal Institute of Navigation and the French University of the Pacific.

• Lowell D. Frazier. Since retiring in July 2002 from the UH School of Communication, I have been teaching at Zayed University in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. ZU is an all-women's university. I teach and prepare these UAE national women for careers in public relations. Women are rare in the professions of journalism and public relations in the Middle East. Most of the students don't learn English until they arrive at the university, so teaching writing skills here is difficult. The students rate American professors as their favorates. Continuing to teach where there's a challenge is a rewarding way to spend retirement years.

I also will move to my new residence in Baguio City, Philippines (sometime in 2006).
• Ricky Grigg : Retired 2003, Oceanography, Internationally known for research on coral reefs & precious corals. Over 100 papers in scientific journals, 6 books. His autobiography Big Surf, deep dives and the islands: my life in the ocean chronicles his contribution to pioneering big wave riding in Hawaii and winning the world surfing championship at Sunset Beach in 1967. Nainoa Thompson,Navigator, Polynesian Voyaging Society wrote of this book:....a must read for anyone who loves the sea... Here is a book about a surfing professor, a man who has lived a total ocean life. It begins with a small boy growing up on the coast of Southern California, where his life is shaped by the sea in every way--emotionally, athletically, professionally, and spritually.It is a story of a surfer who wanted to become an oceanograher, and did.  Ricky Grigg's life is one of adventure, from big-wave surfing to deep diving to oceanography. Readers will surf to the top of the world's tallest waves and dive to the bottom of the world's deepest reefs, and in the process probe the psychological depths of their souls.Richly illustrated, intimately personal, and exhaustively researched, this volume is a classic addtion to the ocean literature. Editions Limited,Honolulu, Fall 1998. Grigg recently served a 5 year term as the Managing Editor of the Coral Reefs. He was selected among the "Ninety Illustrious Alumni of the University of Hawaii" in celebration of its 90th Anniversary in 1997 amd he received a "Life-time Achievement Award" in 2000 from the National Academy of Underwater Arts and Science and, again in 2007, another "Lifetime Achievement Award" from the State Dept. of Land and Natural Resources for his research and public service on the conservation of coral reefs.

• John B. Hall. Retired in 1992. I came to UH in the Fall of 1962 as Assistant Professor of Biochemistry. Having more interest in undergraduate teaching than could be satisfied in Biochemistry, I transfered to the Dept. of Microbiology in 1968. During the last 13 years I was at UH, I served as Director of the Biology Program. I enjoyed the opportunity to work overseas during my sabbatical years. 1970 was spent doing research and teaching at the Univeristy of Otago in New Zealand. In 1978-79 I received a Fulbright Lectureship to help establish a Dept. of Microbiology at Tribhuvan University in Kathmandu, Nepal, and in 1985-86 I spent a second Fulbright teaching microbiology and genetics at Hacettepe Univeristy Medical School in Ankara, Turkey. After retiring, I was fortunate enough to win a third Fulbright to teach at the University College of Belize in Belize City where I taught everything from organic chemistry to human anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, and genetics to young secondary school teachers. I must confess to have been something of a diletante, and in addition to a couple of dozen or so papers in my scientific specialty, I have published work on the liverworts in Hawai'i, the discovery of a new nesting colony of Newel's shearwater on the Big Island, plants to be found on the Palikea Trail on O'ahu, and the tragic and menacing overshoot of the human population on this earth.

• Bruce Morton. Since retirement in 1995, I've been working on human brain behavioral laterality ...developed five biophysical methods that for the first time quantitatively determine whether an individual is right or left brain-oriented in their behavioral and cognitive styles. I've reconstituted the debunked idea of Hemisphericity within a new context called Hemisity where one is "either right-or left" brain oriented. Several papers have been published describing these methods and their application to large groups of people at UH, (n=1048). The sixth of these, BE Morton, Line bisection-based hemisphericity estimates of university students and professionals: Brain and Cognition, 52, 319-325 (2003), reported in the Honolulu Star Bulletin. Subsequently, by use of brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging on 150 subjects of known hemisity, I've discovered an absolute neuroanatomical difference that distinguishes right and left brain oriented individuals. Most recently, a local population of 700 (84%) Juniors and Seniors at Kapolei High School was assessed. As expected, there were almost identical numbers of right and left brain individuals. However, there were almost twice as many right brain females as right brain males, and almost twice as many left brain males as left brain females. Since we had earlier found the term "opposites attract" actually refers to the complementary right and left hemisities most commonly found between spouses of nuclear families, this study has provided the first evidence of the existence of two separately sorting elements within the population, a concept we have termed Familial Polarity. This refers to the separate true breeding right female/left male matripolar pairs (M) and the true breeding right male/left female patripolar pairs (P). At Kapolei the M/P ratio was 1.6. The next study will be done in Utah, where the M/P is predicted to be <0.3. Such evidence will powerfully support the concept of Familial Polarity. Interfaces between M and P populations have been noted in 21 of 22 sites of continuing global unrest. A review of this work was presented in Rhodes, Greece last September entitled "Left-Brain, Right-Brain Differences between Opposing Males at Sites of Recurring Terrorism and War: Discovery of a New Biological Factor tied to Aggression".
  

• James H. Moy *. Molecular Biosciences and Bioengineering, College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources. * Received the 2002 Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) International Award.

• Dieter Mueller-Dombois, In 1990 I retired as Emeritus Professor of Botany after joining the Manoa faculty in 1963. Prior to that I was employed since 1958 by the Canada Department of Forestry as a Forest Research Officer in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. My TRACK RECORD following retirement can be summarized as follows: I continued guiding my graduate students to completion until 2005. After retirement I still received $800,270 for research on Pacific ecosystems, including funds for PABITRA (the Pacific-Asia Biodiversity Transect Network). This became a new joint initiative of the UHM Botany Department and the PSA (the Pacific Science Association), which I introduced in Fiji 1997 together with Prof. Kanehiro Kitayama, one of my former PhD students (from 1991).
• PABITRA'S" research strategy focuses on the horizontal and vertical analyses of Pacific island ecosystems and landscapes using the island biogeography theory of MacArthur & Wilson and the Hawaiian Ahupua`a system as a models. The PABITRA initiative grew from the last chapter in my book VEGETATION OF THE TROPICAL PACIFIC ISLANDS with Ray Fosberg as co-author (deceased in 1993), which was published in 1998 in the Springer Ecological Series. I promoted and coordinated PABITRA for ten years (1997-2007). During that time we held field training workshops in Fiji. Samoa, and Palau with indigenous scientists and land managers who thereafter became certified PABITRA members. PABITRA organized scientific symposia on Biodiversity Assessment and Landscape Ecology in Taipei (1998), Sydney (1999), Nagano (2000), Guam (2001), Bangkok (2003), Kailua-Kona (2004) and Okinawa (2007). The Bangkok symposium was published in Pacific Science (2005) under the theme The PABITRA Project: Island Landscapes under Global Change. We developed a protocol manual for interactive ecology and management of Ahupua`a - type multidisciplinary research over a five year period (from 2000-2005) entitled BIODIVERSITY ASSESSMENT OF TROPICAL ISLAND ECOSYSTEMS. The Manual was first published on our PABITRA web site in 2005, involving 21 authors and three principal editors (D. Mueller-Dombois, K. W. Bridges, and C.C. Daehler). The PABITRA Manual is currently being published in a hard copy colored book version by the Bishop Museum Press. During the 21st Pacific Science Congress in Okinawa we celebrated the first ten years of successful operation of PABITRA with a symposium to be published in Micronesica (2008). I received the GREGORY MEDAL in 2007 in Okinawa and at that time yielded the coordinating task of PABITRA to Prof. Curtis Daehler, the youngest full Professor in the UHM Botany Department .
• Among other honors awarded after retirement, I received the TUEXEN PRIZE in 2000 (see Awards on the PABITRA site), an HONORABLE DOCTORS DEGREE in Engineering from the Brandenburg Technical University in Cottbus in 2004, both awarded in Germany. My colleague, Professor Kim Bridges, added a "Perspective from the other side of the World," a power point presentation he gave at that occasion in Cottbus (with 12 color slides, which are all on the web site). The honorary degree is also mentioned in Ke Kumu `Ike Vol.9 (1): 6 and in an article about my life, "From Prussia With Love" in Hana Hou, the Hawaiian Airline Magazine Vol.8 (2):77, by Lynn Cook: ‘”Dieter Mueller-Dombois' ardor for trees was planted in Germany and now thrives in the Pacific.” In 2006 the Hawaiian Conservation Alliance awarded me its DISTIGUISHED SERVICE AWARD. In 2007 I published with Garrett Smathers, former graduate student of mine (from 1972), a small popular book HAWAI`I: THE FIRES OF LIFE, REBIRTH IN VOLCANO LAND (Mutual Publishing Company, Honolulu). My 1974 textbook with Heinz Ellenberg (as co-author) AIMS & METHODS OF VEGETATION ECOLOGY was republished in 2002 by Blackburn Press on request from colleagues outside UHM as a CLASSIC. During my carreer I published over 200 scientific articles including seven books. The UHM Botany Department and the Pacific Science Association provided very favorable working climates, which I wish to acknowledge herewith with deeply felt mahalo to my students and colleagues.

• Theodore S. Rodgers. Psycholinguistics, retired 1995. Wrote"Language Teaching Methodology" at CAL Center for Applied Linguistics, Issue Paper, 2001.I served for a number of years as Associate Director of the Curriculum Research and Development Group (CRDG), with a personal interest in the humanities, in general, and aspects of mother tongue and second language learning, in particular. ** When the University offered its tinfoil handshake to aging professors (1995) to make more room at the lower end for new blood, I accepted the offer. The enthusiasm for large-scale curriculum development ascendant in the 1960's and 1970's gave way to a school-community based educational enthusiasm in the 1980's and 1990's while much of the grant support for CRDG disappeared (Science and Math being the exceptions.) ** In 1995, I was also offered the Directorship of an imaginative graduate program in Ankara Turkey, funded as a Senior Fulbright position. So the handshake came at an opportune time for me. ** My life has been very much tied up with this program in Turkey over the last decade. I have worked in 8 countries over 20 years since coming to Hawaii in 1968. This interest in living and working in somewhat exotic cultures has continued since retirement, with posts in Laos, Peru, Japan and Nepal as well as Turkey. I now spend about a third of my time in Hawaii, largely writing, community projects and playing volleyball; a third time in the Pacific Northwest at the University of Washington. and a third time in other parts of the world where I have successfully sought out invitations. ** My two best known (best-selling?) books in applied linguistics research -- one Cambridge, one Oxford -- were both written after retirement and have helped fuel the invitational fires. I continue my interests in the public schools and volunteer in a number of areas from theater set design, to workshops on the physics and playoffs of sound, to rekindling interest in the teaching of geography, largely in Hawaii and Seattle. ** I pioneered development of the Hawaii bikeway system and am trying to create a waterway system around the town of Kailua (The "Isle of Kailua Project"). My wife and I are mainstays of the Lanikai Mortgage Players, the most successful theater company in Hawaii (measured by percentage of seats filled per production over a 30-year period).

Terence Rogers, former dean of the John A Burns Schoolof Medicine at UH, was reognized as a Living Treasure of Hawaii by Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawaii in February 2007. According to the accolade, he was "Born in London, Rogers came to Hawai'i in 1960 after spending time in the Pacific with the British Navy during World War II. In addition to his work as dean of the medical school, Rogers was a staff member for President Jimmy Carter's Commission on World Hunger and a researcher for NASA, where he investigated high gravitational stress for astronauts, working with astronauts John Glenn, Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom." Margaret Oda, chair of the selection committee, said they "...wanted to recognize Rogers because of his hard work to make the University of Hawai'i successful. His vision was that through training our people to be doctors they could take care of our community.. That was his burning ambition. His psychology textbook is used worldwide."

• Michael Saso. Expert on tantric Buddhism and ritual Daoism. Wrote: I am in Tibet. I have just been to Mt Everest base camp, then to Mt, Kailash, where I made my annual retreat, walked the "khora" pilgrimage, then went to the ancient kingdom of Guge and Separang. I run a research and language program in Beijing, called "AARLI" Program (Advanced Asian Research and Language Institute) as well as heading up the "New Life Center" project for building schools in Tibet. This July we will build our 6th school, in Amdo - North Tibet, the area called "Yushu" (Jade Trees) in Chinese, "Jegundo" in Tibetan, for 138 orphans. The school is located at an altitude of 14,000 ft, just below the 17,000 ft Bayankarla pass, and Mt. Anyemaqen, which can be identified on the map. Alumni are welcome to come on these ventures, the cost is minimal, and mtn sickness is avoided by eating lots of garlic and drinking lots of tea with sugar in it.

• Barbara B. Smith . She feels fortunate that in 2005, which if she had not retired in 1982, would be her eighth sabbatical, she is able to continue many of her pre-retirement activities with the Music Department and several other units of UHM as well as with some community and professional organizations. Publications during the past six years include several articles on Oceanic musics in the Australia and Pacific Islands volume of The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music and the 2nd edition of The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians and reviews of six books on Asian and Polynesian musics, as well as editorial projects, The Queen’s Songbook and (as consulting editor) the East Asia volume of The Garland Encyclopedia. Honors received during this period include awards from the Hawaii State Dance Council and the City and County of Honolulu Commission on Culture and the Arts; a festschrift : Traditionalism and modernity in the music and dance of Oceania : essays in honour of Barbara B. Smith, from the Study Group on Musics of Oceania of the International Council for Traditional Music. She also received honorary membership in the Society for Ethnomusicology, an honorary doctorate from Pomona College, George Eastman Medal from the Eastman School of Music and, in February 2000, a two-day celebration in tribute to her fifty years of service to the University of Hawai`i and the community. The Barbara B. Smith Amphitheater and Ethnomusicology Wing of the Music Building Complex at UHM was ceremoniously dedicated to Barbara on April 29, 2006. A UHNews report on this event posted April 27 adds further details about Barbara's great contributions to ethnomsicology. Her latest honor occurred in February 2007 when she was honored by Honpa Hongwanji Mission as a LIVING TREASURE OF HAWAII. Margaret Oda, chair of the selection committee, said they were "... impressed with Smith's dedication to ethnic music. She learned the koto in Japan from master performer Miyagi Michio and then took her Western-based studies on music theory and method and created a new program for undergrads, and later for graduate students, when the UH music department was in its infancy."
• Hardja Susilo. Since retirement, he continues to direct the Javanese Gamelan Ensemble as well as teach advanced instruments and play in concerts. Retirement also gives him more time to visit with his family here in Hawaii, in California, in Bali, and in Java. He has recently published a piece about his early years in Java and is well along on his autobiography. The autobiography is of general interest since he is a leader in introducing Javanese Gamelan to non-Indonesians and a mentor to many academics working in the area. (Bio prepared by Bill Remus).
  

• Arthur W. Staats. His career has been devoted to constructing a broad, unified approach to the study of complex human behavior, based on empirical work that has ranged over the main fields of psychology. This work has continued in his retirement, yielding thus far eleven publications consisting of three book chapters and eight journal articles. One chapter is in Wiley's Handbook of Psychology, volumes composed of the most important works of contemporary psychology. The chapter presents Staats' theory of personality. Another chapter is in the Encyclopedia of Psychological Assessment and it deals with how Staats' personality theory pertains to psychological assessment. The third chapter is in the book Unity in Psychology and describes how Staats' work stimulated a broad interest in psychology' unification and indicates the path that should be taken to further psychology's unified development.

• Walter Steiger wrote: Since retiring in 1980, I served six years with the Bishop Museum as director of the Science Center and Planetarium. During this period I was appointed by Governor Ariyoshi to the University of Hawai`i Board of Regents and served from 1982 to 1986. The next six years were served as Site Manager of the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO) on Mauna Kea, Big Island. While in that position, I was contacted by the UH-Hilo Physics and Astronomy Department as a consultant and part-time instructor. After retiring from CSO in 1993 I spent more time teaching physics and astronomy at UH-H as a lecturer. It was during these years in Hilo, that I put together my notes and photos for the historical essay Origins of Astronomy in Hawai`i, now on the Institute for Astronomy web site. The December 31, 1999, special edition of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin recognized me as one of 100 who had made a notable impact on Hawai`i during the past 100 years. [See a related story] In 2001 I was asked by the Chancellor of UH-H to help get the Mauna Kea Astronomy Education Center started during the interim search for a director. The Chancellor called me back again in 2003 when the MKAEC was in deep trouble and I served as Interim Director for 6 months until a new director could be found. The UH-H has presented me with an award for my Scientific Impact on Hawaii.

• Willem Stuiver. After retirement from the Dept. of Mechanical Engineering in 1996 and another year at Manoa on a post-retirement appointment, my wife Chitra and I moved to Sri Lanka (her country of origin). We lived for a year in the hill-town Kandy where I happened to encounter shared professional interests among personal contacts at the Institute for Fundamental Studies (IFS) where I was recently appointed an Honorary Research Professor. In 1998 we returned to Honolulu to wind up our affairs and prepare for our permanent move to Sri Lanka in 2001. Since then, we have lived in Mount Lavinia, a suburb of Colombo, making frequent visits to Kandy where I maintain a visiting position at IFS. I have participated in its annual School Science Programme giving lectures to the student attendees ("From Galileo and Newton to Jupiter, Saturn, and Beyond" in 2004 and "On SETI and the Search for Extra-Solar Planets" in 2005) and publish regularly in its quarterly "Pragna" (latest contribution: "Speculation and Science in the Search for ETI"). I maintained contact with my last PhD student Alvin Post, now teaching at Arizona State University, and co-authored a paper with him last year in the International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics ("Modeling Non-Linear Oscillators: A New Approach"); another paper on a closely related topic is being prepared by us for publication in the same journal next year. Our collaboration in this area, together with my continued involvement with IFS, is expected to continue indefinitely.

• Roland Tharp . After retirement, I won the Grawemeyer Award in Education for my book, with Ronald Gallimore, Rousing Minds to Life. For a number of years I was Director of the national Center for Research on Education, Diversity & Excellence, located at the University of California, Santa Cruz, funded by the largest federal grant ever awarded to that campus in any department. I believe improvements will come not through curricular changes, but by restructuring classroom activities and teacher--student interaction. Now I've retired again, from UCSC, and have just become Research Professor and Senior Scientist at the School of Education, UC Berkeley. I don't teach anymore, except guest slots as at Manoa (and the University of Greenland in September). Most recently: a festschrift for me was edited by two UH colleagues, Clifford O'Donnell and Lois Yamauchi, with contributions by many ex-Manoa colleagues and students: Culture & Context in Human Behavior Change: Theory, Research, and Applications.

• Robert Van Niel, Professor Emeritus, History, His latest book is a project undertaken during his retirement years. Here's his story: Soon after I retired I received a Guggenheim grant to work on a book that I have had in mind for years. On this grant , Eloise and I spent a few years in the Netherlands and Java, mainly doing archival research. The book took a couple years to write and get published but it finally appeared in 2005 under the title, JAVA 'S NORTHEAST COAST, 1740-1840. and is available from: Center for Non-Western Studies, University of Leiden, Post Office Box 9515, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands In addition, I continue to review books related to Southeast Asia at the rate of about two a year. Since the book appeared, I've devoted my time and energies to art work. I'm deeply into printmaking, specifically etching which I am enjoying very much. Bob
  
• Valdo H Viglielmo, Professor of Japanese Language and Literature, retired in 2002.

Viglielmo (University of Hawaii Press.) . The book contains his bio-data.
Jaw-Kai Wang *. Retired from UH in 2004. From 2004 he served on the Board on Agriculture and Natural resources (BANR) and as a panel member of the Vietnam Education Foundation (VEF) Committee. BANR is a standing committee of the National Academies. VEF is funded by the State Department. Among other things, its panel members meet annually in Vietnam to select candidates for advanced studies in the United States. Jaw-Kai Wang is helping form a VEFcommittee to review agriculture education of Vietnam and ways our government can help. The first meeting of that committee is set for August 2006. Dean Andrew Hashimoto of CTAHR is also a member of that committee. Since his UH retirement Dr. Wang has been working with a team of engineers from the Chinese Academy of Aquaculture and Fisheries to design innovative microalgae based recirculating production systems to drastically reduce water demand in shrimp production. Construction work is expected to begin in 2006. Most recently, he is attempting to organize a loose group of UH faculty and external commercial interests to exchange ideas and share literatures on the subject of microalgae based biofuel production. Through such exchanges, proposals like DOE/USDA/DOD competitive grants and SBIR grants to venture capital interest may emerge. He looks forward to serving as Liaison for retired faculty on the Senate's Committee on Professional Matters.
• David L Watson. I'm now writing the ninth edition of my text, Self-Directed Behavior, first published in 1972.

• Robert J Wolff : writes about indigenous, aboriginal, First People. Protests that we continue to rape and destroy the planet, mourns the extinction of plant and animal species, & loss of valuable experience, knowledge and wisdom... After (early) retirement, in '79, from his tenured post in the UH School of Public Health, spent some years on the mainland in non-academic pursuits. Came back to Hawai'i in '89, to the Big Island, where all my family lives. Painting is a lifelong hobby, plus writing and keeping a Web Site. In May, 2005, published Now , some thoughts on the crisis of our "Anthropocene" era... "This new age was defined by one creature—man—who had become so dominant that he was capable of altering the planet on a geological scale... It may seem impossible to imagine that a technologically advanced society should choose, in essence, to destroy itself, but that is what we are now in the process of doing.”

• Klaus Wyrtki. *. Emeritus 1993. In 2003 at International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) in Sapporo, Japan received Prince Albert I Medal for research, awarded by International Association of the Physical Sciences of the Ocean (IAPSO). Citation: Dr. Klaus Wyrtki is now best known for his ENSO research from the 1970s to 1993. He developed breakthroughs in understanding and forecasting El Nino, established the tide gage network that provided the essential oceanographic data set. Recognized for having intellectual courage as well as deep insight into the problem. His work changed attention from the complex thermodynamics determining sea surface temperatures to the far more tractable problem of wind driven ocean dynamics. In addition, through flawless regional data analysis with sound application of ocean dynamics, he has clarified the fundamental workings of the ocean. He developed what is now the foundations of our understanding of the cold, deep ocean circulation and stratification. Extended autobiographical data and thoughts can be found at this Interview .
• *The National Academy of Sciences honored him with the Alexander Agassiz Medal in April 2004 in Washington DC. This medal has been given to oceanographers since 1913 and all famous names are among the recipients. Wyrtki was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in May 2007-- to be inducted at a ceremony in October -- as listed at Members. He is honored at UH by having his name given to the Center for Climate Research and Prediction.

• Ryuzo “Yana” Yanagimachi *. In 1966 I joined the Department of Anatomy and Reproductive Biology, John A. Burns School of Medicine and retired as Emeritus Professor from the Department of Anatomy, Biochemistry and Physiology in December 2005. Although I am recognized as a “cloner” by laymen, my prime research interest has been normal and assisted reproduction in mammals. Regulations on experiments and animals are getting tougher every year, which is good, but are often too much for an old timer like myself. After retirement, I would like to help young people, both faculty members and students, and continue some unfinished work using my own hands. One of my projects is study of fish fertilization, which I first did when I was a student at Hokkaido University (Japan) in the 1950s. Currently I am on the Editorial Board of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which keeps me moderately busy. It helps me keep up developments in my fields of interest. My wife, Hiroko, also retired after working as a part-time electron microscope technician over 20 years. We like traveling and plan to do more as long as our health permits. A recent appreciation of his work can be found in the New York Times.
