[Vera Andrushkiw]

Dear Colleagues,

My dear mother, Klementyna Lashchyk-Szewczuk ("pani Klimtsia"), passed away 
after a prolonged illness on August 5, 2008 at the age of 93. The funeral 
services were held at St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church in 
Hunter, NY and she was buried at Holy Spirit Ukrainian Catholic Cemetery in 
Hamptonburgh, NY.  My mother was the perennial optimist and enjoyed life 
inspite of many difficulties. She will be remembered for her warmth and 
hospitality as the proprietor of Carpathia House - "Karpatia" in Lexington, 
NY.

The UVAN (YBAH) Ukrainian Academy of Arts and Sciences summer seminars were 
held at "Karpatia." Many outstanding and distinguished Ukrainian scholars 
from the United States, Canada, Europe and Ukraine lectured and 
participated in these seminars. Many of you will remember the interesting 
discussions shared in the ambience of "Karpatia" and the scenic Catskills.

Also visiting "Karpatia" were various groups from Plast who held their 
conferences and fondly remember these events. Many other cultural events 
took place there as well.

Vichna Yiy Pamiat'!
