Tell me is it the same?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

The panel was led by Arlin Adams, a lawyer in Philadelphia and a former federal judge. The other members were former top Justice Department official Walter Dellinger and Kenneth Feinberg, a Washington, D.C., lawyer and law professor.

Is this the same person posting here?????

Hi Just,

oh I'm still around occasionally - it's just that we're getting ready to relocate, so things have been quite busy lately. Having just merged two households and now preparing to move across country we're discovering just how much *stuff* we have (not neccessarily useful stuff, or even functional stuff, but just stuff...). It's just a very busy summer for us, that's all.

A friend pointed out this thread to me and I had to laugh - back in 1991 when I first came out to the DC metro area to do some graduate work I kept getting all of these phone calls from reporters who wanted to ask me complex legal questions concerning some on-going case in federal court. This was wierd because they always asked to speak to Arlin Adams, and as far as I could tell from the phone book, I was the only one with that name and spelling in the entire DC metro area...and yeah you got it the other guy had an unlisted phone number...*sigh*.

I was never so glad as when that guy got transferred! At one point in the winter of '91 - '92 I found myself answering every phone call with "this is Arlin H. Adams [emphasizing my middle initial] - if you aren't trying to reach a graduate student you have the wrong number". Eventually they stopped...though I've always half wondered in the back of my mind if *he* was ever mistaken for *me*...you know?

Arlin

Arlin, Now that you have checked in, I'll admit that I pulled up the legal directory on the net. The Arlin Adams practicing in Philadelphia passed the bar in '47. The Arlin Adams we "know" just got married. I figured either it wasn't you, or you're Bob Dole's role model! [VBG]
