Barb Hollenbach Listed Top Lawyer
Though she tries to deny it, Barb and I graduated from law school together.
We were a pretty bad class. One or two of us had cocaine issues, I had booze issues and Bud Dwyer ended up killing himself on national TV. The worst of us became a judge for the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
But Barb, you done good.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Sounds like the class had fun
ReplyDeleteBud Dwyer. That was a hell of day. For some reason, all the local schools were released early from school that day. Most of the local children in the Valley watched him blow out his brains live on tv.
ReplyDeleteNicest guy you'd ever want to meet, too.
ReplyDeleteDidn't it come out that someone perjured themselves in regard to the Dwyer bribery case?
ReplyDeleteYou're likely referring to Bob Asher.
ReplyDeleteWe're talking 1987, which is pretty long ago.
ReplyDeleteBernie ever4 miss the blow and the booze days?
