Cathy's unwavering kindness and warmth always made me feel at home when I visited the Vega Potler residence. Prior to her passing, I knew very little about her fight for human rights in Latin America. It is interesting coming to the realization that I knew so little about the life's work of someone I spent so much time with. It is at once surprising and not surprising that the woman who refused to let me leave her house without doggy bagging some Paella is the same woman whose human rights work I am now hearing about for the first time; that someone who treated me like a member of her family never talked about her dedication and accomplishments. I think the fact that she rarely spoke about her career on the many evenings I spent at her house is a testament to her selflessness. The amount of time and energy she devoted to others is an inspiration.
