David’s dedication to and love for the Washington University School of Law is so complete that he has turned his back on every bedrock principle of his youth. He grew up a dedicated Blackhawks fan-but no more. He grew up having his karma for the upcoming week shaped and influenced by the success (or lack thereof) of the Bears-but no more. He grew up dreaming of playing shortstop for his beloved Cubs-but no more. Rarely has a turnabout been more complete or profound. Surely it is a measure of what the School, its students and its faculty have meant to Dave. Perhaps if the Cubs won more often, maybe if the Bears were more consistently strong, if only the Blackhawks had ascended earlier the future would have been different and we might never have known who owned the calf!
