First, a little sidenote:  what we thought were 1978 Graduation pictures (placed in a folder which stated unequivocally Class of 1978) were actually photos from the graduating class of 1983.  It took a bit of research, but thanks to A. J.

The Class of 1978 marks a seminal year at Franklin Pierce Law Center (now the University of New Hampshire School of Law).  Out of this early group came many distinguished alumni (not to mention some real characters), who went on to do great things and make their mark in the world and in the practice of law.  What follows in this blog and the ones after this is a look back at that class on their day of graduation and a look back at the Class of 78 Reunion as well in 1998.  All this is, of course, in anticipation of the 2018 Reunion, upcoming in March.  In a number of cas
