Glenda Westerfield:  

Life Hey. I'm pleased to announce that I'm still a smartass (some things never change)!!! After obtaining a totally useless B.A. in English from St. Ambrose University, I married Michael Westerfield (class of '90). Mike is an active duty military member, who was sent to Korea two weeks after we were married. Since I could not go to Korea, and had not come across that million dollar job, I decided to go to law school. I packed our children (now 9 and 6)into the mommy-mobile and headed for Missouri. During my 1L year, Mike returned and Lo and Behold...we become parents for the third time(like you didn't see that coming). Due to a few health issues, I took a year off from school to look after baby. During that time, I worked for the Innocence Project assisting in overturning wrongful convictions due to prosecutorial misconduct. Baby and I are now just fine and I am finishing my 2L year. I have two semesters left if I don't flunk anything. I just started a new job exposing mid Missouri's arrests due to racial profiling, and am working to enact legislation that will introduce greater access to higher education for children of migrant workers. My father still resides in Davenport, so I come back at least twice a year (basically during the holidays that involve free food). Am I the only one who can't figure out how I jumped from 18 to 27 in such a short period of time? Hey again...I thought after three years I'd better update this thing. I finally graduated from MIZZOU's law school(WHOOHOOOO!!!GOODBYE CONLAW And SECURED TRANSACTIONS!!!) and have an interesting but monetarily challenged (don't cha love euphemisms?)job doing research on hate crimes. My husband finally got out of the military, and is working to finish his degree in Marketing. The kids are now 12, 9, and 4(going on 40. He starts every sentence with "Obviously")and doing great (it's getting harder and harder to pretend I'm sixteen. My son is the same height I am and wears a 10 mens shoe). I've decided(after much nail biting and debate)to take the Iowa Bar this February, so those of you still in the Q-C area may see me milling about (in various stages of insane panic depending on how close I am to test time). My goal is to open up my own practice, and If I can convince anyone to jump onboard, a firm. Until then, I'll be working for a firm in the area. ...And Three months later I'm now in Iowa (Alternately "hating life/thinking I made a mistake & loving life/thinking this may just work out" the way all control freaks who lose their minds for a moment and move back to Iowa against better judgement do--er--sorry about that. I'm the only one.) Anyway, took an ethics test recently (now why would an attorney need ethics? Go figure!) and gearing up for the Bar. Now working as a substitute teacher torturing local children just for fun and doing freelance legal research not for fun. Those of you still here, if you happen to see me and I look like I'm...Expand for more
