(A proud papa at Michael's Phi Beta Kappa induction.) Quote me? Loretta, I've said so many wonderful things about you in the last year that you could write practically anything, and I would have said it. Say whatever you want. Say, 'Loretta is great! Loretta is wonderful! She knows all the rules!.' Whatever you can think of to say, I'm sure I've said it to someone.

Yale Law '99

Michael spent a semester in Armenia, Colombia, studying South American civil rights laws and their implementation. He returned in May to work at two different internships and has been offered a six-figure salary for a post-graduation-and clerkship job, as well as a fellowship to return to his research in South America.  

2001 Update:

Michael chose the clerkship, then the fellowship, and is now studying in Ecuador. He should be returning sometime this summer. We managed a visit in NC right before we both moved.
