I think it was back around 1980 when my mother, Helen Yonge Lind, joined me at a solemn ceremony at Honolulu’s city hall on Hiroshima Day, the August 6 anniversary of the atomic bombing of that Japanese city.
We’re both holding paper cranes which would become part of the ceremony.
I only recall one other protest she joined in—the 1971 march by Hawaiians against the appointment of Matsuo Takabuki to the Bishop Estate board of trustees.
She’s been gone 5 years.

Takayuki?
Spellcheck changed my Takabuki? To Takayuki?
I have enjoyed your column immensely but I must say that you must be using a Mac or Apple device when you wrote this column. A big mistake in the spelling of the Bishop Estate Trustee’s name should have been spelled as “Matsuo Takabuki (1971-1993). Takabuki was a financial wizard who helped Bishop Estate encounter new leases on their land holdings, thereby reaping accurate dollar values and enabling them to adequately educate the masses of hawaiian keiki, and building additional satellite schools on Maui and Hawaii Island. The other guy, Takayuki, is a technician and a staff member of the Laboratory of Solid Waste Engineering (Hokkaido University) located in Japan.
