Douglas C. Vann - For Douglas C. Vann, former University of Hawaii professor and researcher, the science ofgenetics was his profession but sailing was his passion. Vann was past commodore of the Hawaii Yacht Racing Association and well-known in the island sailing community as skipper of the 44-foot sailboat Tiare. "He started sailing when he was 10 or 11 years old on Coronado island in San Diego," said his wife, Sharry Vann. "When he had his 60th birthday in May, we celebrated it at the Hawaii Yacht Club." Vann died Friday aboard the Tiare competing in the club's weekly sunset race to and from the No. 2 buoy in the Keehi channel. Arlene Schade, office manager of Hawaii Yacht Club, said Vann was a hospitable sailor, often taking visiting yachtsmen and other strangers aboard "to give them the experience of sailing in Hawaii." He was involved for years in support efforts for international races such as the Transpacific and Kenwood Cup competitions. He helped set up and update Internet sites to track the progress of various races and sailors including Kenichi Horie of Japan, who stopped here in April on his solo voyage from San Francisco to Japan. Vann had been director of immunology for Neugenesis, a biotechnical company which produces proteins for pharmaceutical use, since 1996. He was an associate professor with the UH medical school's department of genetics for 11 years, leaving to become senior scientist of the immunology division of Hawaii Biotechnology Group. He continued as a researcher at the university until 1996. He was a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley and earned his doctorate at the University of California at Santa Barbara. He did postdoctoral work at Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation in La Jolla, Calif. Services at the Hawaii Yacht Club on Friday will begin at 5:36 p.m., which was his starting time in the weekly race. A procession of sailboats will leave the harbor to accompany the Tiare. His ashes will be scattered at sea. In recent years Vann had become interested in Buddhism. The family suggests that memorial contributions be made to an educational Buddhist organization, Vipassana Hawaii, P.O. Box 240547, Honolulu, HI 96824. In addition to his wife, Sharry, he is survived by his son Michael G. of Santa Cruz, Calif.

Martin J. Vitousek, 74, a geophysicist and inventor who flew his own airplane and sailed a schooner featured in the movie "The Wackiest Ship in the Army," died Saturday Feb 13, 1999 at Kona Community Hospital. The longtime University of Hawaii researcher, who moved to Kona after retirement, achieved one of the first advances in a tsunami warning system with development of ocean gauges to measure tides and waves in the 1960s. He headed a UH research outpost on Fanning Island, 1,200 miles from Hawaii, and was field chief of the Line Island scientific program during the International Geophysical Year. He commuted there for the Northern Pacific Experiment, part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration. He directed magnetic, seismological and oceanographic studies and developed weather and ocean recording equipment to forecast climate changes. Vitousek used his 72-foot schooner, Fiesta, the "Wackiest Ship" in the film, to carry supplies and replacements to stations on Palmyra, Jarvis and Fanning islands. "Because of his presence in the Line Islands, haoles got to be known as 'Martys,' " recalled Tom Schroeder, UH meteorologist and Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research director. Schroeder said Vitousek, associated with the JIMAR for many years, "was a legend for flying solo from here to Fanning Island" in the 1960s and 1970s. "We always tried to figure out how he did it in that little airplane." George Curtis, UH-Hilo professor formerly at Manoa, worked on many projects with Vitousek. "The best one and the longest was adapting an infrared scanning system from a U-2 (spy plane) to look for fresh water sources on the Kona-Kohala coastline." Vitousek, who started at UH as a mathematics professor, also used hisplane for search missions. He circled Palmyra Island in 1974 looking for LaVerne and Malcolm Graham after their ketch, the Seawind, was stolen and they were reported missing. "He was also famous for trying to land with his dad in the middle of the Pearl Harbor bombing," Schroeder said. Vitousek and his father, Honolulu attorney Roy L. Vitousek Sr., were flying in a light plane near Pearl Harbor when the Japanese bombers and torpedo planes arrived. Then a Punahou senior, Vitousek spotted what he thought was the first bomb dropped. Lorenz Magaard, associate dean of the UH School of Ocean & Earth Science & Technology, said Vitousek was "an extremely versatile colleague who was master of many aspects of our sciences." "Marty's principal interest was the tsunami problem, and he was very accomplished at designing and building instruments," said Dennis Moore, former JIMAR director. Survivors include Vitousek's wife, Tokataai; sons Clinton, Terii and Kimo; daughters Georgina and Taouea Vitousek, Bibiana Strickland and Marieta Prudholm; stepdaughter Catherine Wiggins; and grandchild. Memorial services will be at 5 p.m. Friday at the Keauhou Canoe Club, Kona. Call after 4 p.m. Ashes will be scattered at sea at sundown. A potluck gathering will follow. Aloha attire.
