Thursday morning began for me with a session on “Revamping the Law School Curriculum.” It was focused on how different schools have moved to alter or revamp their curriculum, especially the first year. The moderator was Dean Dennis Honabach, Northern Kentucky University. The speakers were Dean Edward Rubin of Vanderbilt University Law School, Prof. John [...]
Wednesday the programs didn’t start until 1:00 p.m. which is also a nice touch to give people a chance to get out and see and do. That morning I got dressed in some shorts and tennis shoes and took a long, long walk down to the city of Lake Worth. The street name was [...]
Tuesday morning, bright and early, which is ironic after being up all night debating politics in the lobby bar, was Ann Killenbeck’s presentation. She was on the New Scholars Workshop panel #6 on constitutional law and her talk was on diversity. Her thesis is that legal institutions need to do a better [...]
Monday the flight to the SEALS Conference was at 10:15 a.m. For some reason, I had it in my mind that I had a lot longer to get ready and I left in the afternoon, so I had to call Claudia very early in the morning leaving a message at the Pilates studio that I [...]
Sunday, it was great to be back in church at home after having been away for so long. We had a visiting pastor, but it didn’t matter because it was good to see old friends and to worship at home again. Afterwards, Mom and I went to breakfast with the breakfast bunch. Then we headed [...]
Happy Birthday to Fred Chan and Chris Kelley!
As you might imagine, returning back to the office after such a long time away there was a lot of correspondence to catch up on and many meetings with most of the administrative team to be brought up to date on events since being away. Today I [...]
Thursday morning I got up early. My flight was leaving at 9:00 a.m. or so and as part of her 75th birthday gift, I was taking my mom with me to Torrey Pines. She’s such a big Tiger Woods fan and she really wanted to see Torrey Pines and she had never been to LaJolla, [...]
The next day, Wednesday, July 16, it was time to return to Fayetteville. Carol and I had a flight that left at 1:00 p.m., so we were pretty much at the end of the cue for disembarkation. Our tags required us to meet in the Colony Lounge, but that wasn’t until 9:00 a.m. which was [...]
The last day of the cruise was spent at sea which meant that there were a lot of activities on board. One of the main focuses of the newsletter that day was the disembarkation procedures which you don’t think about when you get on the ship, but it can make a great deal of difference [...]
The next morning we woke up docked in Naples, Italy. Our newletter described Naples as: “Not only picturesque, but one of the world’s greatest cultural centers filled with extraordinary works of art and architecture in the classical Greek and Roman styles. While here you will want to visit Pompeii, one of the most famous excavation [...]
