Happy Fernandez, who died on January 19, 2013, was a remarkable social activist, former Philadelphia City Councilwoman, former President of the Moore College of Art, founder of Parents Union for Public Schools in Philadelphia, and a very good friend. As recently as last month, Happy welcomed the CAREGIVERS film project’s Development Coordinator and me into her home to discuss this project and to provide consultation regarding potential resources. Her wisdom, experience, and compassionate support will be greatly missed. An interesting obituary is below. Vic Compher
