Letters

Editor,

First,let me congratulate you on the Summer 2009 issue of your quarterly magazine, Utah Historical Quarterly. One of the authors in this issue,Kathryn MacKay,Ph.D.,gave me a copy because of the article about our sisters and our monastery.I feel Dr.MacKay did a fine job on capturing the role of the sisters in health care.In addition,the article was informative and I think will help your readers get a “feel”for us as real women and committed to helping others.

However,let me call your attention to the identification for the cover.The sister on the left is,in fact,Sister Estelle Nordick.However,the other sister (the one on the right) is Sister Longina Kaar who worked here from 1947-1950.She was a registered nurse.

While I’m not a regular reader of your magazine,I do know of the high quality of its contents.And as an archivist for our monastery,I am interested in the history of people and places.Thank you for providing that.

Sister Luke Hoschette Community Secretary & Archivist
