Beloved St. Helena Doctor Remembered

A memorial celebration for Dr. Robert Darter (1933-2012) drew hundreds to the St. Helena Library Saturday. The library is collecting message and memories in a book for his family: Here's how to add your thoughts.

A message from the St. Helena Public Library:

Thank you to the Darter family for giving the library the honor of hosting Dr. Robert Darter’s memorial celebration. Close to 350 people joined us on Saturday afternoon and the event was very touching.

If you were unable to attend, but would like to send a message to the family, please feel free to email us and we will include your words in the memory book we began Saturday. If you would like to write in the book, pages will be available to write in through 6:00 pm Wednesday in the library.
