JORDIE CHILSON<br />

Charlotte White. HSFF Member<br />

Jordie Chilson and I were not close friends. Now that she is gone<br />

(alas, too often this is true) I realize our relationship was very warm,<br />

trusting and meaningful. She gave of herself sincerely and faithfully in<br />

many ways. Her volunteer work in the Wheelwright Museum Shop, the<br />

book store of the Palace of the Governors, and her intense contribution<br />

to the <strong>Historic</strong> <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Fe</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> as a board member for twelve years<br />

were all indications of how dedicated she was to all she did. The new<br />

wing of the Museum oflndian Arts and Culture contains a replica Navajo<br />

hogan, which was funded from Jordie's estate. As chair for the<br />

HSFF Membership Committee her efforts resulted in the largest membership<br />

the <strong>Foundation</strong> ever had. Her death on <strong>Fe</strong>bruary 26, 1997 is a<br />

loss to us all. We will miss you, Jordie.<br />
