34 U. Haw. L. Rev. 373 (2012)
Jon Van Dyke Was My Teacher

handle is hein.journals/uhawlr34 and id is 385 raw text is: Jon Van Dyke Was My Teacher Mari J. Matsuda* These words are printed as delivered at the memorial on the East- West Center ldnai in hopes that all who were there will remember the amazing sight of Jon Van Dyke's students rising, one by one, in witness of his teaching. First one, then two, then a dozen, then well over a hundred people rose to their feet as they were called on to exemplify the panoply of ways in which Jon Van Dyke left a legacy as a teacher. It was a cool, sunny day, with a gentle breeze blowing down from the back of the valley, touching the faces of those who stood, who wept, who remembered. Jon Van Dyke was my teacher. To the Van Dyke/Broder family, we bear witness to your deep, sharp grief for the loss of one who was Dad, husband, brother. What has surprised many of us is the shape of the grief one feels upon losing a teacher. Jon Van Dyke was the kind of teacher who becomes a part of other people's autobiographies. In losing him, we lose a chapter of our lives. There are many people here today who would not be where they are if our Con Law professor had not pushed the fledgling out of the nest. Could you please stand if you got your name in print because Jon Van Dyke included you as a co-author.' * The author thanks the Van Dyke/Broder family for the deep honor of sharing in the memorial service, and Fawn Jade Koopman, Kaleo Nacapoy, Daylin-Rose Gibson, and Tiffany Dare for their outstanding research assistance for this piece. 1 It is not the normal practice in legal publications to credit research assistants with authorship status, even when their contributions are significant. Jon's ethic was of collaboration and recognition. Over fifty individuals were honored to share co-author status with Jon Van Dyke over the years. Of those individuals, at least twenty-five were Jon's students and alumni of the William S. Richardson School of Law. These former students include: Melody MacKenzie '76, Robert S.N. Young '78, Judge Riki Amano '79, Kenneth K. Takenaka '79, Nathan Aipa '80, Robert Brooks '80, Faye T. Kimura '80, Douglas Marsden '80, Susan L. Heftel-Liquido '81, David Teichman '82, Christopher J. Yuen '82, Kathy K. Higham '84, Jonathon Gurish '86, Ted N. Pettit '86, Jennifer L. Cook Clark '87, Carolyn E. Nicol '88, Dale L. Bennett '89, Carmen T. DiAmore-Siah '89, Gerald W. Berkley-Coats '91, Noelle M. Kahanu '92, Marilyn M.L. Chung '93, Teri Y. Kondo Ohta '93, David M. Forman '93, Emily A. Gardner '96, Maile Osika '12. Interview by Fawn Jade Koopman with Laurie Tochiki, Lecturer at Law, Director of Child Welfare Projects, William S. Richardson Sch. of Law, Univ. of Haw. at Mdnoa, in Honolulu, Haw.
