John's Story
Graduated with great relief from SLHS ... freedom ! I gave a speech at graduation, but no one seems to remember it LOL.
B.A., M.A., History - UCLA
J.D. - Hastings Law School, SF (now renamed: "UC College of the Law, SF" because people found out how Serranus Clinton Hastings got his money.
Have worked as a lawyer, almost all in criminal defense and appeals, for .... uh .... years and years. Worked for the Sacramento County Public Defender's Office for 15+ years, have been back on my own since 2003, California work, no longer Federal work.
Moved to British Columbia in 2006, and commuted to Sacramento once per month in connection with my criminal appeals work there. Admitted to bar of British Columbia in 2007, but now in retired status as to that bar membership.
Moved to Nevada in 2019.
Have traveled to various places in Europe and As...Expand for more
ia.. Saw the sights and ... had fun.
Did marathons, and triathlons from the 1986 to 1997 (including 3 half-Ironman length), And now I do half-marathons ... before and after 3 heart operations ... the latest one in 3/23. I don't do well running on cement, but do fine on asphalt (actually: softer than cement) and dirt.
Was married for 8 years (56 years in "dog-years" ... which is what it was like), now divorced ... freedom now, and having fun !
I have no children, as far as I know. Just lucky, I guess.
I am fighting the aging process, but apparently I am losing, but I keep fighting..
In my post-70 half-marathons, I tend to finish "first" in my age-group (70-99), since I seem to be the only one IN it.
Yes, I continue to work as a lawyer, doing criminal writ and appeal work.
Am I starting to repeat myself, here ? Oh, well . . . .
