I got to work with him and Bill Whitehurst on the lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the 1989 workers' comp reforms. What a privilege! And it cemented a lifelong friendship/mentorship with David.
And you led us to that Observer piece, thank you. "In Austin, he joined Sam Houston Clinton’s law practice—the office also housed the ACLU and the Texas Observer—and he and Ann quickly found their way to Scholz Garten, the gravitational center of a wildly eclectic universe of lawyers, legislators, writers, and agitators. There, Ellen writes, David would spend hours holding court."
Somehow, I wish we could regenerate a "Wildly eclectic universe" again. Should we try to light a new spark?
Amen, Deece. Amen.
Hi, Guy! I hope you're doing well.
Thank you Deece.
Thanks for your readership and support, Carol!
Thanks for this, Deece. So privileged to have known Dave and worked with him on a couple of Voting Rights Act cases. What a marvelous man.
