In der Nachkriegszeit und in den 1950er Jahren war Tante Yette die treibende Kraft, die den Kontakt zwischen den Familienteil in Europa und [[Familie Eckart in Hawaii|Amerika]] aufrechterhielt. Sie versorgte auch hie und da die in [[Die_Familie_Eckart_in_Poing|Poing]] lebenden Eckarts mit Lebensmitteln, wie Schokolade und Kakao, die in der Nachkriegszeit in Deutschland ein großer Luxus waren. Zwischen 1955 und 1957 lebte sie mit zwei ihrer insgesamt 20 Enkelkinder, für zwei Jahre bei der Familie von [[Werner Eckart (Da IX 33)|Werner Eckart]]. In dieser Zeit arbeitete sie als Austauschlehrerin in München.

In Zusammenarbeit und regen Briefwechsel mit [[Heidi Killinger (Da X 55)|Heidi Killinger]] gelang es so, den Stammbaum der amerikanischen und hawaiianischen Eckarts zu vervollständigen.

Henriette "Yette" Eckart, around 1916.

Henriette Eckart was born on May 13, 1902, in Wailuku, Maui, Hawaii as the twelfth child of Maximilian Eckart and Maria Louisa Campbell. Her mother Maria Louisa died in 1908, when Yette was only six years old. She was raised by her father and elder siblings, until, after finishing eighth grade, she was sent to Kamehameha boarding school in Honolulu in 1917. She graduated from this boarding school in 1919 and started work as a teacher at Territorial Normal School Honolulu shortly thereafter. Her granddaughter Barbara Austen later recalled that Yette’s profession became her vocation. On June 19, 1925, Yette married Edmund John Austen, who was originally from Canada, in Honolulu. Between 1926 and 1930, Yette Austen had four children: Roselani in 1926, Wilby George in 1927, Edmund in 1928 and Kanani in 1930.
