An Incomplete
Saturday was a day of coincidences for me. I ran across a file that I had been looking for. It was a Clarence Darrow quote that I had done for an ACDLA conference. About three years ago I had promised Judge Palughi that I would make him a copy. He had liked it and I thought it really captured the essence of what he was all about. "Great," I thought, "I'll finish this incomplete and give it to him.
I puttered with the thing for about an hour and went to the Garage only to find out that our friend had passed away that morning. Judge Butler's comment that "He represented the poor, the indigent, the downtrodden, and he brought the same approach to the bench," isn't merely the puffery we come to expect when an important person dies. Judge Palughi is going to be really missed.
