HUMMEL NEWS Sad news from the Convent Pennington, N.J., September 5, 2008 - We were informed by the Convent of Siessen today that Sr. Radegundis passed away yesterday. The Convent asked us to pass this sad news along to our M.I. Hummel Club members and collectors in North America. Many M.I. Hummel Club members will remember Sister Radegundis through her love and dedication to Sister Hummel and Sister's artwork. Her warm presence at Club conventions, events and visits to the Convent will surely be missed. Goebel of North America and the M.I.
