Stephen A. Kolodny is dead, and unfortunately, I cannot attend the funeral to assure that he is, in fact, dead. However, I have it from very reliable sources that the once Fat Old Guy is, in fact, dead. No one I have ever met was better at keeping his ill health issues a secret ( …
Recently I was informed that Judith Dahlman Rhodes, Commissioner of the Superior Court, was not feeling well. (passed BAR 12.7.88) I have to say I am a little surprised.
