Keyes' husband died, spurring her to become more active in the anti-war movement. That's where she met Kerry.
Keyes, a partner in Morrison & Foerster's San Francisco office, this week attends her second Democratic Convention. This time she'll be inside, serving as a delegate for Sen. Kerry, D-Mass., the presumptive presidential nominee. Keyes is one of several San Francisco Bay Area lawyers who've been elected as delegates for Kerry or Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., his running mate. For many like Keyes, the road to political involvement is paved with family ties.
She prolly became a lawyer so she wouldn't end up waiting table at one of Kerry's mansions. Servant - another form of "family tie" to the billionaire Lefty. ;-)
