Class Note 1984
Issue
Nov - Dec 2017
This month’s column should either be titled, “Classmates who love their jobs” or “litigation is exciting.” The latter is a direct quote from our own John Minier from a recent edition of Attorney at Law Magazine, North Carolina Triangle Edition. John’s attorney-clad photo fills the magazine cover for his star turn as “Attorney of the Month.”The article focuses on John’s devotion to healthcare providers, highlighting his unique ability to explain complicated medical processes to jurors in a simplistic fashion. Yes, John’s known for “the art of simplicity.” And he’s further quoted as saying, “The coaching experience defined the kind of person I am. I can’t help being intense.” I want to hire John!
Another lawyer who loves his job is Andrew Pickens of Strawn Pickens LLP in Houston. Andrew’s not a cover boy but he recently published an article in the University of Pennsylvania Journal of Business Law, “Defending Actions Against Corporate Clients of Private Security Companies,” 19:3 U. Pa. J. Bus. L. 601 (2017). Other than the date, I’m not sure what those other numbers mean, but I like how they make the article seem very serious. And here’s the first sentence in the article, “In today’s global environment companies with people and facilities near unstable regions of the world increasingly look to private companies to provide appropriate security for their personnel.” To read more, you’ll need to access that journal.
Elizabeth Miles, Esq.,also finds the law profession groovy, but maybe that’s because she was recently promoted at Apple to “director of iTunes and Apple music legal.” So, don’t let your kids steal music because our classmate will find out!
Following the trend of finding happiness through promotion is Revell Horsey. Mega International has appointed him as senior vice president and managing director of the company’s rapidly growing North American business. Revell will manage all Mega operations in the United States and Canada, including strategy and business development, sales, marketing, customer support and consulting. For nearly 30 years Revell has provided expertise in financial and operations management to both established and startup businesses.
Another way to be happy at your job is to, well, get a new job! Just ask Susanmarie Harrington. She is loving life as a full professor in the English department at University of Vermont. After teaching in Indiana for more than 15 years she was thrilled to move to Vermont back in 2008 and return to the East Coast. Okay, so that was nine years, but it proves my point! She’s currently the director of the writing in the disciplines program.
Last but not least, give a rouse for Dr. Anjali Hulyalkar Chuttani for helping my daughter find a place to live in Boston—all while working late at her dermatology practice—a sure sign that she loves her job. Here’s hoping that most of you still love your jobs. But don’t let that stop you from taking vacation time for our “35th” reunion June 14-17, 2018.
