VIRGINIA WHITEHILL

Patty,
I had a dream about your mother last night.
I am one of the founders of Echo Theater and your mother was one of our fiercest early supporters.
In the dream she had arranged for all of her possessions to be auctioned off with all the proceeds going to Planned Parenthood. Sounds about right doesn't it? I was able to purchase a mink beret. My great aunt Kitty, my feminist role model, wore one when she held my grandmother's hand at my grandfather's funeral.

I knew Virginia in the later part of her life, but I have heard so many stories from my mother about what a fierce defender of women's rights she was her entire life. We are so lucky to have had her help to pave the way for us. The world is a better place to have had her in it.
