Book Presentation with Myrna Kostash

Posted on by

On February 27th St. Peter’s College and Abbey Library held a fascinating Book Presentation. Myrna Kostash, one of our Oblates, presented a fifty minute PowerPoint Presentation on her award winning historical book entitled Ghosts in a Photograph. Myrna is a prolific, intriguing and engaging writer and speaker. The presentation involved Myrna describing photographs on her PowerPoint presentation. The slides she talked about were about her family history and the mystery of one particular relative who kept appearing in very old photographs. He was one of the first known members of the Kostashchuk (Kostash) ancestry. There were just over twenty people in attendance and the presentation was available on Zoom. St. Peter’s College Library has had two book presentations and readings over the past couple of years and the staff hope that there will be many more.
