WPPI Accolade of Lifetime Achievement Award
Heidi was
posthumously given the Accolade of Lifetime Achievement Award at the WPPI 2004 Awards Ceremony in Las Vegas. Her friend Bill Hurter was selected to accept the award on her behalf and below is what he said in
accepting the award.
"I have felt like Heidi has been here all week. I kept expecting to bump into her as I turned the next corner. And for weeks before we left L.A., I wondered when I would get the call
asking, 'Can I have a few more days for my prints?' Heidi would have been extremely gratified to receive this award. WPPI was the high point of her year. She loved to compete and network and she especially
loved making new friends from among WPPI's newest members. Heidi was the perennial student and WPPI was like a week-long post-graduate course. Her thirst for knowledge was insatiable and her quest for excellence
never waned. She will be sorely missed and forever thought of as one of the first ladies of the WPPI family. Thank you for letting me accept this award on her behalf."
Bill says, "We sent the award on to
Heidi's sister, Mimi in Santa Barbara, who wanted to photograph it before sending it on to the Photography Hall of Fame in Oklahoma."
