Heather Bishop and the Legal Education and Actin Fund

Friday morning at the annual breakfast of the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund, Heather Bishop wowed the audience with her passionate description of her 40 years of fighting for human rights. A gifted singer, songwriter and artist Heather gave a very moving personal account. Included in her account was her experience of how she became a carpenter (she was the only child of a second generation carpenter), how she learned how to smuggle draft dodgers across the border at the time of the Vietnam War. Her activism then and now was for things she feels deeply about. She has stood tall in the face of many difficulties. And as she put it - "tall trees catch the wildest winds."
