I recall the first day of Real Property class, “Mr. Goldstein, what is a tenement?” My immediate thought was –a place in which I never wanted to live. (Actually, a tenement was a form of real property in which I had no future interest.) My response at the time was something akin to “Duh?” David moved on to the next victim of the Socratic method.
Over the years David’s role in my life transitioned from teacher to mentor. When my older son attended Wash. U as an undergraduate, David was there as an integral part of his support network–and host at Passover Sedars. He was also very persistent, but diplomatic in making sure that I let my son make up his own mind to go to law school. He did, and now we practice together. Thank you David.
