Another reflection: when my 8th grade history teacher passed away his
obituary talked about some media interview where he was asked
something about most significant Supreme Court cases. He mentioned
Brown vs Board of Education and also Tinker V DesMoines a case brought
with Bonnie's older brother Paul, now Paul TinkerHEss as lead
plaintiff.
My funny memory of Bonnie is the year NPYM minuted support of
same-gender marriage and full legal marriage equality. Bonnie and I
ducked out of the queer quakers eating ice cream and went off to my
room to finish word-smithing the minute that needed to come to
Business Meeting the next day.
