Mom and Dad




My father possesses one of the brightest mind that I know and I have loved experiencing him “in his element” as one of my professors. This experience will forever be an important one to me and one for which I will always remain grateful. The unique opportunity of going through the “trial” of law school with my father was the reason that I chose to move to Las Vegas and it has proven to be worth it. Don’t worry dad, the 2.4 GPA I mentioned in previous posts was just a big joke. My GPA is WAY higher…at least a 2.6.

In typical selfless fashion, for years my mother spent hours and hours typing out my handwritten book reports and papers. She learned more than she likely would have wanted to about my perspective on everything from the book Hatchet to the Revolutionary War. In the process of helping me, she taught me that learning was important and something that you have to work for.

With all of my complaining about law school and the prospects of work as an attorney, I thought I could show you that I still have the right perspective on a few things. Thanks for everything! I love you

Nice face! Thank you Christopher for the very sweet and kind comment. We already knew all of what you said, cuz we know you, but it is lovely to have one's children say it. Did you get a hold of Carolijn about Amsterdam?

Love you so,

Dad & Mom
