In mid-July, 2022 a boat tour passenger named Jerry Cosgrove took a tour of OSV Church. He later sent the following letter to Tour Leader Ron Kirby. Please take the time to view the link concerning Rose Hawthorne:
Mr. Kirby,
About 10 days ago I was a visitor in St. Vincents from the cruise ship visiting Cape Giradeau. I mentioned that there was a relatively recent person like St. Vincent who also was responsible for changing medical care for the poor.
That was Rose Hawthorne. Here is a link to a presentation I made two years ago to some people in New York.
I hope you enjoy it.
Best,
Jerry Cosgrove
Brentwood, New Hampshire
PS – I love your website for St. Vincents.
