Thelma Buchholdt

Thelma was truly a public servant who was always "frank" with me. She supported me in my efforts to run for public office. That is my last memory of her. I'm embarrassed that I live in Anchorage, and I'm just now learning of her death. Although, I'm very fortunate to of been in a presence of a powerful and history-making woman like Thelma.

Dear Jon:
I live in Miami and went on line and learned about Thelma's passing. I spent much time with Thelma and you during law school. Ti will also remember me. My husband, Roffle passed from cancer in 1991 and knew the Bucholdts for their kindness. We all remember the salmon barbicues every year. My daughter, Holly was born during our last year in law school. Time goes quickly. I will pass this email on to Mary Pipitone, another law school friend. My thoughts are with you. ...

Jon and family,

I just heard about Thelma's death. I knew you and Thelma mostly in the 70s, from the Mahoney family connection in Wasilla. I later moved to Spenard and was proud to have Thelma represent me. I will always remember how much I enjoyed visiting with her. Anchorage in the 70s was just on the cusp of what it is today, and it was exciting to be a part of that. Thank you for all you did for Alaska Thelma!

Thelma will be always in the hearts and minds

of all her brothers and sisters who share in her

vision of a more just and caring planet.

My family's condolences on the loss of your wife, mother, and grandmother Thelma. I was saddened when I heard of her passing on KTOO radio. My father, Andres Aquino Cadiente, Sr., was very proud of Thelma and her accomplishments. Thelma lived a life in keeping with the vision and dream of our fathers, the "First Wave" of Filipinos: integrity, dignity, love of God, family, and country. The Cadiente family appreciated the personal time and respect she gave our father and our mother when...
