She was a lobbyist in the most honorable sense of the profession. because she never tried to browbeat or buy a vote. She simply told you why she felt her position was right--and she always did it with conviction. In 1982. a Washington business newspaper named her one of the towns 10 best lobbyists. In 1999. President Clinton awarded the Medal of Freedom to Evy. It was quite an honor for a daughter of immigrants from Patersonand it made me proud. Evy never married. but she doted on her nieces and nephews. and five grandnieces. And workers all across the country thought of her as family.
