To Linda and Family - I was fortunate enough to have my first, real experience in practicing law with David and Fleet many, many moons ago as a young intern in the Prosecutor's Office. I learned so much from them...perhaps most importantly, the concepts of hard work, fairness, and commitment. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
With Love,
Susan A. Metz, Magistrate
