Durham lawyer

I met a lawyer in Durham today who grew up down the street from my dad, was maybe 7 years younger than him.  He said that my dad came and talked to him about law school when he was considering applying, and that my dad's encouragement was part of what made him choose the law.

Which is funny, considering how my dad came to revile the profession.  Still, it is very interesting to go around Durham and hear all these stories of what dad was like back in the day.
