Saying goodbye to Pat Lawson
Mark remembers Pat Lawson, who passed away yesterday. Pat was a mentor to so many social justice advocates. She believed in the beauty and majesty of the Port Hope where she grew up: Lake Ontario, where she played on the beaches; the Ganaraska River, where she floated through town. Says Mark: "She lit a fire in me that day that still burns."
