Burns, longtime friend of the University of Hawai\u2019i, during a ceremony in his honor last week. The memorial service was held in the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) Mala La\u02bbau Lapa\u02bbau, or Native Hawaiian Healing Garden, a setting where those gathered could reflect on the retired judges\u2019 life and his many contributions in support of the school.<\/p><p>Burns\u2019 widow, Emme Tomimbang, television host and producer, and James Burns\u2019 adult children, Brendan Burns, an educator, and Meredith Burns, an attorney, attended the garden ceremony which included the planting of a lama, a tree associated with enlightenment, in the Honorable James Burns\u2019 name.<\/p><p><strong>About James Burns<\/strong><br \/>James Burns, who died last month at 79, was incredibly faithful to the medical school that was named after his father, Hawaii\u2019s former governor. Despite being a busy justice on the state\u2019s second-highest court, James Burns attended virtually every JABSOM White Coat Ceremony, Convocation Ceremony, Dean\u2019s Circle event and spoke to incoming students on campus every year. He offered his advice and counsel as a member of the Board of the University Health Partners of Hawai\u2019i (formerly UCERA), the University of Hawai\u2019i health sciences faculty practice plan, and served as president of the Friends of the Medical School, which was established to support MD students and their families. He was a trusted advisor and close friend to medical school Dean Jerris Hedges, MD.<\/p><p>Burns and his wife also were instrumental\u2013with the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation\u2013in the establishment by Nadine Alexander Kahanamoku of scholarships in honor of Nadine\u2019s husband, the former Olympian, Duke Kahanamoku. When Nadine died in 1997, she donated their entire estate to be used for scholarships to be awarded to medical students of Hawaiian ancestry. Since then, there have been over 80 Kahanamoku Scholars.<\/p><p><strong>Our video, videotaped and edited by Vina Cristobal of UH Med Now.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"jabsomVideo\"><p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_kH4GgEdS_g\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p><\/div><p><strong>More about the Lama tree:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>Definition (Pukui dictionary): torch, light, lamp.<br \/>Lama: An endemic hardwood in the ebony family, Hawaiian ebony.<br \/>Scientific name is: Diospyros sandwicensis<br \/>Cultural Uses: The wood of lama is used to decorate hula altars since its name is associated with enlightenment.
