I'm a lawyer who still fancies herself as, in a way, a writer. I suspect there are a few of us out in the world. I was reading something particularly odious from opposing counsel today and I very much wanted to tell him to flush it down his client's fragrant commode. Decades later, I have bits of Pat's writing firing neurons in my brain. For all of my life, Pat's writing will be part of my soul. Bless his spirit, and bless all who loved him.

Kimberly, yes, Pat was a ferocious debater. You already are a writer - you do it for a living and it transpires in everything else including the message you wrote. Thanks for writing to Pat and "screw" the opposing counsel.
