In a series of surprises Pat McCann was named the 2017 American Atheists’ Connecticut Activist of the Year. In addition to Dennis Paul Himes surprising Pat at his home during the Hartford Area Humanists Winter Solstice/HumanLight Celebration with the award, Jase Heap stealthily asked Pat’s friends to provide input for an article on the work that Pat has been doing in Connecticut. But not to let a sleeping dog lie, Jase also asked Pat to pen an article of “revenge” highlighting all the great work of the activists in Connecticut.
