Cafarelli lay out on that lawn for quite some time, in a hostage kind of situation, and Gail and I happened to be in the background and saw the shooting. I can remember we both ran for one of these trees. The tree was about that big around (maybe a foot wide), and we were both trying to hide behind that tree. We finally went upstairs to the dorm, and watched the whole thing from the dorm, but that was scary, really, really scary. I think she laid out there for over an hour or more while somebody tried to talk to Dez, to put the gun away. She had shot Cafarelli through the abdomen, so she had to have surgery. That was definitely one to remember.-Kay Easton Lyon, Class of 1965 |
| Description |
The St. Benedicts School of Nursing was founded in 1947 by the Sisters of Mount Benedict. The school operated from April 1947 to 1968. Over that forty-one year period, the school had 605 students and 357 graduates. In 1966, the program became the basis for Weber State Colleges Practical Nurse Program and eventually merged into Webers Nursing Program. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the graduates and to add to the history of nursing education in Ogden. The interviews focus on their training, religion, and experiences working with doctors, nurses, nuns, and patients at St. Benedicts Hospital. This project received funding from the Utah Humanities Council and the Utah State History. |
