№ 755: Christmas

NORTH POLE (December 24)

When they graduated from law school eight close friends,
Aram G. Bemerian
William A. Bright
Frederick Douglas Days
Hussein En-Mayal
Angela Mayor
Roger W. M. Mussersbee III
Tinisha X. White
and Iris C. Yorkris,

despite their varying backgrounds, interests and political leanings, vowed to one day form their own firm. 

Twenty-four years flew by.
Though they had kept "in touch" through the alumni bulletin and annual December holiday letters, dispersed as they were to major firms (law and otherwise), private practice, politics, elected and appointed office, they had forgotten their plan until last December when each, completely unbeknownst to all others, mentioned it in the annual letter.

Recognizing that this had to be more than a remarkable coincidence, they decided to talk it over at their twenty-fifth reunion. 

Last June they met and discussed the idea and decided that they were ready to take the plunge. 

Accordingly, each wrapped up his or her practice, job, elected or appointed office and on December 20, they announced the formation of their new firm:
