WWU professor Fleetwood lobbied for people in need of help

Services will be held Saturday, July 23, for Hugh Fleetwood, a longtime philosophy professor at Western Washington University who held true to his beliefs in the public realm even when it ruffled some people's feathers.
Fleetwood died Sunday at the age of 81. A longtime member and leader of the American Civil Liberties Union, he was an early supporter of Whatcom County's public defender's office and a key board member of Interfaith Coalition, which supports housing and medical programs for needy people in the county.
