I’ve blogged about my great friend Heather a couple of times before:
Heather is one of the really dynamic people in this world who make a difference…..and she’s back in town and is launching some really tremendous projects soon, that I’ll blog about in the near future. Anyway, yesterday we met at Corky’s in Sherman Oaks as afterwards I was going to attend a community forum with Assembly Member Mike Feuer, a long time member of San Fernando Valley/Northeast Los Angeles NOW (National Organization for Women) across the street. So catching up with Heather, she tells me that somebody recently dubbed her — based on her initials of HRM — “Her Royal Majesty” — and the moniker is very apropos. She is truly one of the fabulous princesses of the feminist movement that I’m very glad to have met.
Now this is also one of those small world stories. Heather and I chatted about some of the old crowd from long ago when she was a young high school activist with SFV/NELA NOW. So after we parted and I went across the street to Mike Feuer’s event, who’s there but Roz Brown, a former Chapter President of SFV/NELA NOW who I recruited into the chapter when she just happened to skate by on Van Nuys Blvd at our Rally in the Valley for reproductive rights. Then who else do I find there, but Alex Ponder, aide to Mike Feuer and son of my great old friend and private investigator colleague Marlene Ponder.
Well today, catching up soon with journalist Don Ray at his birthday party in Burbank at Frank’s Restaurant; wonder who I’ll run into there????
