LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Honoree's name was omitted

Dear Editor:

Your issue of September 28 included an article about Chicago's celebrations of the independence of Ukraine. Jaroslava Prociw was omitted as an honoree at Mayor Richard M. Daley's reception.

Mrs. Prociw has been teaching at St. Nicholas Cathedral Catholic School for over 40 years, has taught at the Ridna Shkola Saturday School for over 30 years and conducts the Cathedral Children's Choir. She is an active member of St. Nicholas Cathedral and many of its organizations. Mrs. Prociw's main dedication is to the education and mentoring of Ukrainian children.

Hosting fish farmers was memorable

Dear Editor:

I just wanted to tell you how much my family and I enjoyed hosting the delegation of Ukrainian fish farmers for a tour of our plant on July 16. (See The Ukrainian Weekly, August 17, for a story about the visit.)

It was a memorable experience for us all. It is amazing how much we all had in common.

We cured and smoked fish. We packaged Kentucky Spoonfish Caviar. By the end of the day, there was no language barrier and it was sad to see our good friends have to leave.
