Heather was the first. She was born on October 13. Happy Birthday, Heather. She was a performer from the start, dress-up, dance, song. Heather was always all girl, in the most traditional way. That never meant she wasn’t assertive, her own person, and out to find her own way in the world.
Her first public performance – a dance in a department store at about three – became a photo feature in the local paper. Then it was on the stage in “A Christmas Carol” at a local High School, almost countless summer and high school musical and dramatic productions, and professional theater at the Guthrie in Minneapolis. Her vocal talent was validated by a rare two year’s selection to the Minnesota All State Choir.
She graduated from the University of Minnesota with majors in theater and history, then was off to Los Angeles and Hollywood. There was a leading role in a feature movie, and some small ones, along with many stage roles at recognized companies, including originating the leading role in the popular repertory theater play A Summer with Hemingway’s Twin. After five years, she returned to the Twin Cities, where she was once again immediately in demand in that vibrant theater community while she worked for a law firm. That new world of the law sent Heather next to Chicago, to one of the world's leading intellectual property law firms and where she did post-graduate work at Loyola University that certified her as a paralegal in intellectual property.
Those challenges and recognition by others – and Heather – of her interest and skills in the law have now brought her to the next big adventure, law school at William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota, the alma mater of US Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger.
You’re a light of our lives. Happy Birthday, Heather
