Five Questions:
1. Three people with whom you would love to have dinner? Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Angela Merkel, and Cameron Mackintosh.
2. If you could change, enact, or alter one law, what would it be? Permanent and sufficient funding to guarantee free or low-cost legal services for lower and middle class individuals.
3. Favorite weekend getaway? Brennan Beach on the edge of Lake Ontario — for the past 16 years, my home away from home in the summer.
4. Favorite form of entertainment? Theater and the Marvel movie franchise.
Over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to see several shows here in Rochester and on the Great White Way. To date, my favorites would be Thurgood, Les Miserables, Wicked, and Choir Boy.
Never having seen a Marvel movie, I went with my teenage grandson last summer to see Infinity Wars (yeah, I know, not the one to start with) and got hooked. I spent the summer watching them all in proper order. They are like “beach reads” for me — very entertaining and a great way to connect with my grandson. Favorite scene: “Puny god.”
5. Favorite quote? “We either believe in the dignity of the individual, the rule of law, and the prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment, or we don’t. There is no middle ground.” –Leon Panetta
You are the person who does legal research for Harris Beach? Do you have a legal background? I’ll be honest and say that I wasn’t happy when I saw the Westlaw charges on the last invoice I looked at, but nice response with Cam Mackintosh.
