This is what this blog means to be. What Ted Mastos wrote. It deserves its own post. We would invite him and others to write more about the Mosler trial. And we call upon CJ Sayfie to start an REGJB Hall Of Fame. It can start with a list of names on a board, prominently displayed, and then we can go from there.
It would be hard to be any more eloquent than the folks who have already spoken. He was truly one of the remaining Gerstein gang members who witnessed Richard Gerstein and Gerald Kogan in the Mosler trial. He was a lawyer's lawyer in every sense of the word. Jack could always be found in the cafeteria with a cup of coffee and stories from the past with eager young lawyers gathering around just to hear some of the stories. As I have often stated, it is a shame that REG is such a cold and austere building with no sense of the history that has unfolded over the years. Jack belongs in the Hall of Fame of REG greats who have walked those corridors. Jack should not be forgotten. I will miss him.
It should be up to the LOP and FACDL to start such a Hall of Fame.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Ted Mastos
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ted. Some of us have dedicated our lives to roaming these halls, doing our best, the profession definitely takes its toll on your health and many of our last breaths may either be in the justice building or in our office And then , a sort time later, despite dedicating 40,50, 60 years , you’re forgotten
