Michael,
I've been in contact with James Arnett who is from your area and i a
graduate of the U of A's law school and has been recently admitted to
the U of A's and Rutgers Program for library school. I will forward
this application to him.
I know James' brother, but I have not met him in person. Apparently
James has a speech impediment and is a little shy because of it, which
has frustrated his efforts to find a position as an attorney at a firm,
although he has worked some with his father and is known to be a gifted
writer.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Paul
