Sue Cox is still practicing law in the Alaska Attorney General’s office in Juneau. She does personal injury defense litigation for the state, and is little surprised she’s never had a case opposite Jim Pentlarge, who’s got his own firm in Anchorage. She has run into Bonnie Robson occasionally over the years and keeps in touch with Gabrielle Wirth and Luke Torres, and had a great time joining them for Gabrielle’s 50th birthday party in Newport Beach last summer. Sue’s husband Tom has his own practice, daughter Julia is a sophomore at Colorado College, and son Peter is a senior in high school, planning to go to University of British Columbia in Vancouver next year (unless he takes a year off to ski the world).

Walt Sadler is still at the same job, with the same wife, the same house, the same kids and the same car. He is thankful he still has most of the same hair, but it is starting to turn a little gray, which his 2 teenage daughters are mercilessly quick to point out. He wishes he could say that he has the same weight, but admits he has probably gained a few ponds since graduation, which his teenage daughters are also mercilessly quick to point out. All in all, however, he claims to still be in pretty good shape through mountain bike riding on the weekends with childhood buddies and skiing in Mammoth. Walt is still doing almost 100% free speech/ first amendment defense work including successfully defending all of the Borat lawsuits that were filed in Los Angeles.

Jeff Schmidt is the Insurance Commissioner for the State of Hawaii.
