On March 1, 2010, the Detroit Legal News ran a very nice article about the February 25, 2010 Judge Kaye Tertzag Tribute and Award Dinner. The whole issue can be found here, and the article starts on the front page and continues on page 3.
Here are a few quotes from the piece, written by John Minnis:
"Nary a dry eye could be found at the inaugural Kaye Tertzag Tribute Dinner held Thursday night, Feb. 25, at the Park Place Banquet Hall in Dearborn."
“It is a tribute to see so many from all walks of life,” (Event Committee member Michael) Butler addressed the crowd. “Plaintiff and defense attorneys sitting down with one another. We could sure use someone like Kaye in Lansing or Washington right now.”
“I heard and read a lot of stories about Kaye,” (Keynote speaker Norm)Tucker said. “I think I see what made him special. He savored and cared for everything he loved in life.”
“I was very concerned about my emotional stability tonight,” (Award recipient, the Honorable James) Rashid said, his voice cracking after donning the purple jacket. “I have been blessed in my career but never has any award touched my heart like this one. That you could even suggest that I could ever rise to his level.”
"She (Kaye's daughter Kara) then offered a Sambuca toast to 'Chach,' a tradition she started at her father’s memorial service. 'Dad is with us tonight in many ways,' she said."
