Mother, sanctuary worker and member of the Long Island Catholic Peace Fellowship. On April 9, 1993 she entered the Plowshares Newport News Shipbuilding action while wearing badges identifying themselves as “disarmers.” After cutting through a fence they proceeded to the USS Tucson fast attack submarine. They scaled 80 feet of scaffolding, and climbed aboard. They then disarmed two Tomahawk cruise missile launchers by removing the inner metal casings and hammering on them with household hammers. They also poured blood onto these launchers as well as on a third Tomahawk launcher.
