EWC Adjunct Senior Fellow Dick Baker discusses current developments regarding democracy in Asia in a recent segment of the online video show ThinkTech Hawaii. Interviewed by Hawaii Pacific University Professor and Asia-Pacific columnist Bill Sharp, Baker discusses recent developments in Thailand, Indonesia and more.
ThinkTech Hawaii also features a variety of other video segments hosted by Sharp and focusing on Asia-Pacific issues.
The following letter below was sent to Rose Nakamura, former program officer and participants officer at the East-West Center.
Dear Rose,
I just received the East-West Center Observer and read about the National Award that you received as a Compassionate Caregiver. I am almost certain that you won’t remember me, but from 1972-1975 I was a recipient of an open grant to study Chinese history and culture. At the time, I was in my early to mid ‘20s.
This summer, I turn 60 and now am a dean (as my title just below shows) and, as you will see in the news release below, China is still close to my heart. I was tremendously influenced, all those many years ago, by your compassion and kindness and have held fond memories of you ever since. You helped a must less scholarly young boy from a rough area of Brooklyn, New York, realize his dreams and directions, and to become a wiser man.
Thank you sincerely for your compassion so many years ago.
