MEMORIAL DAY 2019

Summer is fast upon as. Florida's short spring gets shorter all the time- not that there's any evidence of global warming.  Soon it will be the Fourth Of July, and then the All-star game; pre-season football; the dog-days of August, and then the fall...the blessed fall when temperatures dip a degree or two in Miami. 

For now we repair to our lair high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. 

Query: Are you staying in Miami or starting a summer vacation? 

Talbot "Sandy" D'Alemberte passed away this week at the age of 85. The accolades that have been written- that he was a giant in Florida's legal community and that he was one of the last true southern gentlemen-lawyers, are all true, and yet the kind words do not scratch the surface of Sandy D'Alemberte's life. Suffice to say that Sandy D'Alemberte was of a different time- a time when being a lawyer was an honorable profession and the law was a calling for people who wanted to change the world for the better. Sandy D'Alemberte was a lawyer's lawyer. He was one of the outstanding Floridian's of the last century. He was a man who made a difference and he will be missed.
