PLEASE REMEMBER TO FILL IN THE FOLLOWING SO THAT THIS PAGE WILL AUTO-SORT PROPERLY IN CATEGORIES:
-->
{{DEFAULTSORT:Heggessey, Lorraine}}<!--
PLACE YOUR TEXT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE COLON (:), WITHOUT A SPACE. 
  * IF A PERSON, SORT BY THE LAST NAME (e.g., {{DEFAULTSORT:Hartnell, William}})
REMEMBER, SORTING IS CASE-SENSITIVE.  SORTING BY THE LETTER 'd' IS A DIFFERENT THING THAN SORTING BY 'D'.
It is much better to use DEFAULTSORT than to sort manually for each category, because this page might later get put
into a page automatically, and the system will simply chose to sort by the first letter in the article's name.  Using the manual
sort keys on a category will override DEFAULTSORT for that category. 
LEAVE THE ABOVE BLANK ONLY WHEN THE ARTICLE'S NAME WILL NATURALLY SORT PROPERLY (e.g. "Earthshock") -->
