Show gave me advice, when needed, in such a way that I didn't lose my self-confidence. She will be greatly missed." -Leah M. Jackson, President, Kane County D.U.P. "When I think of President Carter, the first thing that comes to my mind was her boundless energy. She lived every story she ever wrote, and made you live them too through the spirit she gave them. "They say no one is indispensable and I am sure someone else can take her place and be very good, but they can never take our memories of Kate B. Carter from us." -Gwyn Meador, President, Grand County, Utah "I consider Kate B. Carter to be one of the best historians of the nation. During the thirteen and one-half years I was Carbon County D.U.P. president, we formed a friendship that was ever¬lasting. When she visited our conventions she would proudly say, 'I am happy to have spent my early years in Carbon County.' She and her family lived in a small mining camp called Winter Quarters, which has long been a ghost town. "We are grateful for the books and pamphlets she wrote. We loved her and will miss her at the conventions. Kate B. Carter was a wonderful leader, a true friend and one of the world's great ladies." -Crystal B. Guymon, Price, Utah "The qualities that touched and impressed me most about President Carter were as follows: She was a person who got things done. She had an extraordinary memory. I don't believe she ever forgot anything. She also had a remarkable ability to discern and carry through a project, step by step, remembering every detail. She was a great lady and we all revere her mem¬ory. We honor her for preserving histories, landmarks and relics and for the part she played in securing the Pioneer Museum and Carriage House to serve as a repository for them. I hope and pray that we can instill in our posterity the same reverence she had for our noble pioneers and hold it as a torch for the world to see!" -Ida A. Gallagher, President, South Salt Lake County "I am a native of Spanish Fork. Kate B. Carter was a very dear friend to our family. She visited our home often and always enjoyed the delicious molasses cake my mother made. She seemed to find pleasure in visiting our home. She and my sister Jen Kerwan were the same age. I was younger, but I remember her very well and always loved to visit with her when she came to Idaho to our meetings. She was a great lady." -Teresa K. Dayley, Captain, Riverside Camp D.U.P., Blackfoot, Idaho Myrtle Childs, president of East South Utah County, ex¬pressed her feelings for President Carter as follows: "Kate was an inspiration and set a great pace for us all to follow. I am sure the D.U.P. is what it is today because of her. She prepared, planned and executed her plans with great dedication and ability. "We are all very proud of the great museum. Because of her dedication to this project, everyone was given an opportunity to participate and share." "We Uintah County Daughters of Utah Pioneers want to ex¬press our feelings concerning our beloved Kate B. Carter, be¬cause through the years many of us have been closely associated with her. Many are the times we were edified with her attend¬ance at our annual fall conventions, at which time she would take part in the dedication of our markers. There have been about a dozen of these in our county and we have many pictures and news clippings of President Carter officiating in these ded-ications along with our county officers and members. She praised our efforts in obtaining a museum, encouraged us to continue to push forward writing histories, erecting monuments and col¬lecting relics. She would say 'We can't love our pioneers by word alone, we prove it by our works in bronze and deeds.' We re¬vere her for her dedicated service to us and this great D.U.P. organization." -Mildred L. Mansfield Secretary, Uintah Co. D.U.P. Clark's Boat Camp Strawberry Reservoir, Utah July 1, 1976. "Dear President Carter: "You are in my thoughts continually, and I often think of all the lovely trips I have taken with you and the good times we have had. I want you to know that I am not unmindful of the fact that you gave me a great many advantages for travel and for personal growth by your kind interest in me. The twenty years I have spent working with you were interesting, instructive, and pleasant in every way and I value your friendship above any other. "During this Bi-Centennial time with all the reminders of our nation's capital, I remember our trip there and your going out on a rainy, windy day to make certain I saw a little of Wash¬ington, when you could have spent the day resting at the motel. I have since been back to Washington and seen more, but at that time I was most grateful for even a glimpse of the Capitol. "And I remember our catching the plane at Newark, New Jersey, when Dr. Fletcher walked along so unconcerned with his long strides while you tried to keep up! Those corridors seemed |
