Over Christmas break in January 2003, we gathered (clockwise from left) Nam, employees Aaron and Nushe, Jerad, the two Kwak kids, (Sam and Maria), and Oma (that's Mom in Korean), and myself, and headed to my favorite Ethiopian restaurant here in Seattle. Avi, the owner of Queen of Sheba, is serving our dinner.
Local clients Hannah, Nico and Andrew are joined by Kris, who flew up from San Francisco.
Ethiopian is one of my favorite restaurants for groups; the food is often presented in stews and sauces, so (as with Chinese) you get to taste more dishes with a large group.
In
2005 I had so many students either admitted to or attending Wisconsin that
I joined them for Admitted Students' Weekend.
That's Nicole Guerrero sitting next to my coat. then Mona and Rayen Pierattini. Hugo Rojas drove up from Chicago to meet some of his future classmates, and Nam Dao, in the 1L class, traded a free dinner (and a fine one) for letting himself be pestered with the "What's law school really like?" questions. Thanks again to Dean of Admissions Mike Hall for allowing me to join the party!
