Readers’ feedback on series Am glad you are taking on this responsibility about keeping the "history"


of the American missionaries at SU updated and recorded. A couple of years ago, I suggested to Pres. Ben that the Christian Ed room at the church (building donated by your DAD, if I remember right) be renamed the Paul R. Lindholm Library to hold memorabilia of American missionaries who served Silliman.


The closest missionary to me (and Lorna G.) was Mrs. Margaret Patterson


Mack. She was my Bible teacher in elementary school and college. Her hus- band, Dr. Mack was my first boss at DYSR where I worked (with Minnie Magdamo) after graduation in 1962. My relative Elmo Lopez also worked at the station at that time with Ben Magdamo/Tants Bernardez/Ralph Mil- ton/Juan "Dodong" Pia...and a slew of others. I was still at DYSR when Dr. Mack had an "accident" in Banilad and passed away.
