Where is the VOTE button? Hey, now! Kate is probably laughing…..” hero, what hero. I just do what I do”. And she does it so well. There never was a person more generous in & of her spirit. Kate, we thank you every time we think of you. If thoughts could be registered she’d have more votes than Obama. Add mine. Thanks, Julie.

I too would vote for Kate. For me as a brand new midwife in 1989, Kate was an incredible role model, both professionally and personally. I am grateful to Julie for nominating her.

I vote for Katherine Winkler. You have inspired so many. It’s great to see how many women and families you have helped here in Philadelpia. I wish you the best. We knew each other many years ago in Austin. Keep strong. Adelante y felicidades en el dia de las madres.

I could not find a place to vote, but I vote kate more than 5 stars. kate was my preceptor last year while she was on chemotreatment. Kate is not only a wonderful mentor to me on Ob/GYN practice, but she is also an amazing woman to me in her selfless, passion and dedication. As stated by Julie, it is so true to see her picture when I read Julie’s writing about her. I was so inspired and encouraged by her. Kate is my model and continue to insprie me to be my best. She definitely and truly deseves the recognition and admiration for all of her hard work, kindness, knowledge, skills and dedication.

As Kate’s sister-in-law, and partner in the first midwifery practice that Kate joined, I watched Kate morph into a midwife. This seemed like the inevitable culmination of Kate’s strong political convictions, and the compassionate need to serve women. Kate is particularly gifted at being able to bridge cultural, economic, and political divides. Most who are fortunate enough to know her consider her one of their closer friends. This is because Kate is so sincere in her interest and caring for those around her. Kate’s dedication to every role she plays (including friend, mother, wife, sister daughter, and midwife) is passionate. She is not an attention seeker, but it is great to have the opportunity to go all out and sing her praises.

I voted for Kate, but I don’t think my vote registered. Anyway, she sure deserves the recognition.

Kate is THE BEST! She is the essence of midwifery. Her quiet, sweet, caring, funny, strong message is clear … listen to women! Kate is a great woman, friend, midwife, person who continues to persevere at all odds and who has chosen to continue to work to serve women while undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer. She is amazing … and I hope she is smiling as she reads all these notes of love. Five gold stars for Kate! Jerri Hobdy.
