SAIKI, JOHN HARRIS, M.D. John Harris Saiki, M.D., known as "Jack" to many, peacefully passed away at home on August 8, 2014, surrounded by his loving family. He will forever be in the hearts of his wife Julie; his three children, Beth, Bill and Catherine; his beloved grandchildren, Anna Priya Gupte, Anand Gupte and Alexander Saiki; son-in-law Viru Gupte and daughter-in-law Jocelyn Saiki; and his brother George and extended family. Jack was born on December 31, 1936 in Grand Forks, North Dakota to Lydia Elizabeth Kuoppala and Arthur Kazu Saiki, M.D. He spent most of his childhood in Grand Forks and three formative years in Kauai, Hawaii. Jack received his Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science from the University of North Dakota. He graduated from medical school at McGill University in Montreal, Canada in 1961. It was there that he met his future wife, Julie Singleton. Jack served two years with the United States Public Health Service in Fort Defiance, Arizona. He completed his residency and fellowship training in medicine and hematology at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine and his oncology training at the University of Texas, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Jack was Professor Emeritus at the University of New Mexico Department of Medicine, Hematology/ Oncology Division. His career on faculty spanned forty-four years; it can be said he lived the history of modern day oncology. Jack joined the faculty at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine in 1970. With the support of a grant from the federally funded New Mexico Regional Medical Program, Jack developed a leukemia-lymphoma treatment program, at a time when no formal medical oncology program existed in New Mexico. He was also awarded funding from the National Institutes of Health in support of his membership in the Southwest Oncology Group, which ushered in cancer clinical trials and new cancer treatments for New Mexicans. In 1973, Jack received board certification in medical oncology, the year the subspecialty of medical oncology was first created. Jack served in various capacities while on the faculty, including Clinical Director of the University of New Mexico Cancer Center and Principal Investigator for the Southwest Oncology Group. In addition, Jack served on the Board of Trustees for Blood Systems for twenty-nine years and was Medical Director of the Presbyterian Hospice Program. Jack was the recipient of numerous awards for teaching and service, including the Laureate Award by the New Mexico Chapter of the American College of Physicians and nine Khatali Awards, an honor bestowed by each graduating class of the University of New Mexico School of Medicine in recognition of teaching excellence. Throughout his career, Jack loved teaching but patient care was foremost in his heart. Jack was beloved for his humility, compassion, integrity and dedication. Jack and his wife of fifty-two years, Julie, shared a mutual love of the Southwest, hiking, birding, identifying wildflowers and enjoying the tranquility of the Taos mountains. He was deeply loved and admired by his three children. He encouraged them to carve out their own unique paths and, importantly, to appreciate the journey. He was a beloved granddad. With his playful spirit and love of teaching, he spent endless hours with his grandchildren on projects fostering their love of science and nature. Jack's curiosity and appreciation of life included photography, tennis, geology, woodworking, taking up the banjo at age forty, and driving his '66 Volvo. His gift for storytelling, endearing sense of humor, and gentle nature remained ever-present to the end. While it is impossibly difficult to let him go, we know he made an indelible difference in the lives of many people and that his teachings will carry forward through his family, friends, patients, students and colleagues. We celebrate Jack and his life well lived. The family wishes to thank Vince Ortolano, M.D., Katherine Morris, M.D., Presbyterian Home Health and Hospice, Jack's colleagues at the University of New Mexico Cancer Center, and the University of New Mexico Center for Life. Memorial gifts may be made to the University of New Mexico Cancer Center "John H. Saiki Clinical Oncology Endowment Fund". The fund was established anonymously by a patient of Jack's for the purpose of creating the "John H. Saiki Endowed Chair in Clinical Oncology" to support and promote excellence in patient care and teaching. Contributions may be mailed to UNM Cancer Center, Attn: Justin Schroer, Director of Development, 1201 Camino de Salud NE, Albuquerque NM 87131. Contributions may also be made online at www.unmfund.org/fund/saiki. Specify "John H. Saiki Clinical Oncology Endowment Fund" on the check or when making an online contribution.

STEEVES, JIM Jim Steeves, age 76, passed away on September 1, 2014, comforted by family. He is survived by Carol, his wife of 42 years; daughter Suzanne Hurrey, her husband Mick and their children, Kellen 7, Beckett 4 and Remi 2; daughter Jennifer Steeves, her husband Dave Prager and their daughter Georgiana 3, all living in the San Francisco area. Jim was born on September 7, 1937, in Calais, Maine. After four years in the Navy, the words of John F. Kennedy inspired him to do more for his country: he entered the Foreign Service of the U.S. Department of State where he stayed for 28 years. Jim served his country in Germany, Senegal, England, Spain, where he met Carol, who had already embarked on her own foreign adventures. He persuaded her to marry him and they went on to serve in Ireland, Israel, South Africa and Hungary. His eyes were opened to different cultures, foreign perspectives, and superior beers. ("I never liked beer in America," he was fond of saying, "but when I got to Germany I understood why: Budweiser? That isn't beer.") In 1989, the family moved to Albuquerque where they have resided until the present, except for 5 years away in Germany and California. While in Albuquerque, he became addicted to the smell of freshly roasted green chilies and a nonstop quest to find the area's best breakfast burrito and micro-brew. In life Jim devoted himself to knowledge, to dialogue (he could coax meaningful conversation out of any passer-by) and to his passion for the rights of the little guy. Daily for the last 10 years, he curated articles and opinion pieces, and relayed them to people across the world. He also hosted a discussion group and wrote endless letters to the editor on topics he was passionate about. Near the end of a long struggle with cancer, when asked what he still wanted to do, Jim said he wanted to save the world. He wanted to inspire others to get in involved and change the world around them. When asked of his greatest pride, though, Jim named his daughters: the lives they chose to lead, the spouses they chose, and the future they're giving their children. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to your favorite charity, or by having a conversation with a stranger that goes beyond sports and weather. A celebration of Jim's life will take place Saturday, September 6, 2014, from 1- 4pm at the family house.

TAGGART, EVELYNA HELENA ALISE YCAS June 29, 1923 - August 17, 2014 Evelyna H.A.Y. Taggart passed away peacefully on August 17, 2014 in her home at the Good Samaritan Manzano del Sol Village in Albuquerque at the age of 91. She had suffered a stroke on July 9. Variously known as Eve to her friends and Guga to many of her relatives, she was an educated, energetic, and gregarious woman who endlessly and generously reached out into the lives of hundreds of individuals, connecting them all with her unique verve and enthusiasm for life. She was the last Ycas of her generation. Eve was born to Martynas Ycas and Hypatia Sliupas Ycas in Kaunas, capital of the newly free republic of Lithuania, and was raised on the nearby family estate of Tirkeliskiai, with her older brother Martynas (D 2014), older sister Hypatia (D 2005), and twin sister Violetta (D 1976). Her father was an activist who lobbied ceaselessly for Lithuanian freedom from Czarist rule, participated as a Lithuanian delegate at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, and served as the initial Minister of Finance of Lithuania during the 1920s. Her mother was a Lithuanian American from Scranton, PA. The siblings grew up bilingual (Lithuanian and English) due to their mother's American heritage and years of tutelage from their Scottish governess. Eve also studied Latin, French, German, and Spanish later on. In her teens Eve attended the Ausras State Gymnasium in Kaunas, where she was a member of the Birute Girl Scouts. When Russia invaded Lithuania in 1940, she and her family escaped through Poland into Germany, where they survived the RAF bombings of Berlin and subsequently traveled and lived as refugees through Barcelona, Lisbon, and Rio de Janeiro, where her father died of a heart attack. The remaining family arrived by ship in New York Harbor in May, 1941 and were quickly dispersed amongst various residences and immigrant sponsors across the U.S. Eve lived initially with her maternal aunt, Dr. Aldona Sliupas, in Brooklyn, and then briefly with the Rudkin family of baking fame, on Pepperidge Farm in Fairfield, CT, when she worked in a factory making metal soap boxes. She successfully applied to the International Rescue & Relief Organization for a full scholarship, and enrolled as a freshman at Ohio State University later in 1941, graduating with a B.A. in French in 1945. She was a member of the Delta Delta Delta Sorority, where she resided, and waitressed at the Faculty Club in exchange for her meals. She was thrice interviewed by The Columbus Citizen about her family's experiences. In December of 1946, she became a naturalized citizen of the U.S.A. Eve married Joseph L. Lessman in 1950 in Cleveland, OH. They were divorced in Las Vegas, NV, in 1958. Later that year she married Graham V. Taggart, a civil engineer, in Las Vegas, where they resided until his death in 1972. She took his ashes for interment at Santa Fe National Cemetery for veterans, "liked the place," and stayed to seek employment. She worked for 21 years for the New Mexico State Energy, Minerals, & Resources Dept., coordinating events across the state, and retired in 1995 at age 72 with a personal commendation from Governor Johnson. She lived in Santa Fe until 1986, when she moved to NE Albuquerque to better assist her mother (D 1987), who had moved out to NM earlier to live with her. During the 1970s, Eve pursued coursework at the Graduate School of Business & Administration, Univ. of New Mexico. She also acquired a real estate license. Eve's mother had earlier remarried an American Lithuanian, Pius J. Zuris, whose son by a previous marriage, Stanley Zuris, and his wife Patricia, had moved to Albuquerque in the 1950s, building a home NW of the city on the west side of the Rio Grande. Throughout the remainder of her life, her double-step "other" family, from the other side of the river, and Eve enjoyed a rich and close relationship. Eve was an active member for nearly three decades in both the Albuquerque Council for International Visitors & the Friendship Force of New Mexico, non-profit organizations dedicated to international citizen diplomacy. She hosted numerous visitors from abroad in her home, including once the Asst. Prefect of Police of Ulan Bator, capital of Mongolia. She traveled widely, taking trips to China, Australia, and New Zealand, and often visited Lithuanian friends and relatives in Chicago, CO, FL, NY, and Toronto, Canada. She also socialized extensively with numerous Lithuanians in Albuquerque and corresponded worldwide. In 1993 she traveled with her brother, his wife, and his sons, John Ycas of CO, family back to Lithuania for the first time in five decades, when they were able to locate and view Tirkeliskiai once more. They also toured across the country to Palanga, on the Baltic coast, where the Ycas family had maintained a seaside villa 60 years previously. Eve and her sister Hypatia returned to northern Lithuania in 1995 for the dedication of national monuments to their father and uncle in the old Ycas home town of Birzai. Her sister, having published her memoir Springtime in Lithuania (illustrated by Peggy Zuris) in 1995, moved from CA later to live with Eve in NM, died in Albuquerque in 2005, and the next year Eve moved into Good Samaritan Manzano del Sol Village in the NE quarter. Eve collected art, textiles, and books. She absorbed stories, life, and people. She conversed and laughed with everyone she met; her range of interests was infinite. She loved bright colors, oysters, lobster, crayfish, and beer. She embraced the modern technological world, enjoyed a prodigious memory for the myriad details of her numerous friends' adventures, and never let the past defeat her. She has inspired the younger generations of her two families. She is survived by three nephews: Martynas Albert Ycas of Arlington, VA, John Algis Ycas of Boulder, CO, and Joseph Warren Ycas of Hockessin, DE; six grand-nephews and grand-nieces: Eliza Y. Callahan of Chicago, IL, Gabriel Ycas of Boulder, CO, Trevor Ycas of Boulder, CO, Nathan Ycas of Gaithersburg, MD, Skye Y. Picon of Kenton, OH, and Peter Ycas of Minneapolis, MN; her double step-brother Stanley P. Zuris of Albuquerque, NM, and double step-nieces and nephew: Nancy Z. Slater of Horace, ND, Suzanne Z. Levy of Chandler, AZ, Carol Z. Peacock of Bellevue, CO, Stephanie Z. Collins of Artesia, NM, and Eddie Zuris of Albuquerque, NM. A life celebration will be held within the Good Samaritan Manzano del Sol Village in Albuquerque, for residents, on Friday, Oct. 17th. A party (Eve said so!) will take place locally for friends and family on Saturday, October 18th. BYE-BYE FOR NOW
