Denby Fawcett: The Passing Of A Treasured Scholar
It was highly unlikely that a penniless Japanese American orphan would one day become a treasured transcriber and translator of classic Hawaiian language and cultural traditions.
That infant was Patience “Pat” Namaka Wiggin Bacon, the hanai daughter of Mary Kawena Pukui, who joined forces with her adoptive mother starting in the s to collect and preserve Hawaiian language and traditional beliefs when very few others were interested or cared.
Their research laid the language and cultural foundation for what would become the Hawaiian cultural renaissance of the s.
Hawaiian cultural historian and author Nathan Napoka said in a phone interview Saturday that the mother and daughter were inseparable, one of the greatest teams of Hawaiian cultural collaborators in the 20th century; they gave each other lifelong emotional and intellectual support.
Bacon died at age on Jan. 23, with little notice to herald her passing except for a paid tribute by her friend Kaupena Wong that appeared Friday in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
Working quietly, often in the background, Bacon helped Pukui produce her classic works including “Hawaiian D
The Life of Abraham
Abraham is one of the most blessed people in the Bible. Although Scripture is not a comprehensive history of humans it does, however, chronicle the relationship of one man and his descendants with the Creator of the Universe. Ultimately, it is a record of how God has and will bless mankind through the life of the next person in our timeline.
The apostle Paul not only confirms that the world is blessed through Abraham's faithful life but also that anyone who has faith in God is considered one of his spiritual sons and heir of the promises.
Because of this, you should understand that those who are of faith are the true sons of Abraham.
Now in the Scriptures, God, seeing in advance that He would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you shall all the nations be blessed." It is for this reason that those who are of faith are being blessed with the believing Abraham. (Galatians - 9, HBFV, see also Romans ).
Abraham, without a doubt, lived a most fascinating life! Abram (his birth name before God renamed him) was born in the city of Ur of the Chaldees to a family that included older brothers Haran and
Denby Fawcett: The Unheralded Life's Work Of A Tireless Hawaii Historian
David W. Forbes died alone in his apartment in Portland, Ore., sometime on Jan. 29 or 30, according to his family. It was the weekend of his birthday and he would have turned 81 years old.
The manager of his apartment building found him unresponsive after a friend worried when he did not return her many phone calls to wish him a happy birthday.
Forbes’ cousin Craig Ryan said to me in a phone call that to walk through David’s small studio apartment was to know him. Research papers were scattered in piles everywhere. In the kitchen cupboards, instead of jam and rice and cans of tuna, were books, antiques and treasures like 19th century drawings.
He lived for his work as a writer and bibliographer of Hawaii’s history as well as his research on the art of Hawaii, for which he was a recognized expert. There was little time to keep a tidy house or shelves well stocked with food.
Although he is largely unknown to the general public in Hawaii today, Forbes is widely respected in academic, literary and artistic circles both here and internationally for the sheer volume and quality of his research.
