Brush with Fame

On several different occasions through my life I have had a 'brush with fame'.  These include when my name appeared in the major newspapers in our city when I was a Merit Finalist.  My full name, Margaret Patricia Heywood, took up the entire column and appeared more prominent than shorter names of other students who were equally or more qualified for distinction.  My various children have had similar or better opportunities at a time in the public eye, but I will only list those few times when my name has had more than local distribution.  When my portrait of the children of a friend was in a 'feminist' art show in Virginia it was the featured image on a TV broadcast about the show.  My first stained glass panel was shown in the Ensign at least twice after it appeared in the LDS Church International Exhibit and was also featured at a Bicentennial family reunion in honor of Joseph Leland Heywood.  Today my post on 'Don't Eat That' a facebook group started by Mikhaila Peterson, the daughter of a mentor, Jordan Peterson, received a personal 'Thank You' comment by Mikhaila.
