Two of our classmates have been moving up the judicial ladder of success. Phil Ranney is now a member of the Cleveland law firm of Henderson, Quail, Schneider, & Smeltz. Phil and his wife live in Lakewood. Colin Norberg is now associated with Judge John Ramsey in the general practice of law under the name Ramsey and Norberg. Colin was with the U.S. Treasury Department Internal Revenue Division (you know, those guys you sweated over last month!) for three and a half years prior to this. He lives in Meredith, N. H., so I'm sure we'll see Colin in Hanover in June ... his old stomping ground and his wife Susan's home town to boot!
