nobody knows this person but me, but one of those people who gave you a chance in life, an opportunity.....long time (retired) U.S. Federal Magistrate Judge Pat Gorence died. I got to clerk for her one year during law school. She was super quiet, reserved, but I learned a ton about writing and the use of brevity.
one of my 'jobs' was to read all of the habeas petitions that came into the Court. World needs ditch diggers too Danny boy is all i kept thinking. She was a good egg. Amazing mediator. She knew my Dad from years prior in his old life, when she was a federal prosecutor. funny how I ended up clerking for her, totally random how life works.
