Mark, I noted in your November column that you got carded in a bar. You have good company. Recently our state’s governor showed up with her husband and some friends at an Olympia bar. She did not have her ID and the attendant refused to admit her without her first showing it. Needless to say the local newspaper had fun with this especially because the governor had to go home (to the governor’s mansion, that is) alone while the “first gentleman” (we don’t use “dude” here) and the others went inside for a drink! At least in your case you ended up in a place with a better choice of brews.

As we at Seton Hall Law mourn the passing of our Head of Reader Services, Ms. Eileen Denner, we thought that your readers, many of whom Ms. Denner came to know over the years, would want to know.
