This week, ABAJournal.com noted how retired lawyer Jerry Loughran was able to scratch an item off of what the New York Times characterized as his “bucket list”: Being a ball person at the U.S. Open tennis tournament.
“Like many older Americans, he had a few things he wanted to get done after he retired a couple of years ago,” the Times said of Loughran. “Get into an episode of Law & Order. (Check.) Learn to play the piano. (Incomplete.) Skydive. (Incomplete.) Be an Open ball boy. (Check.)”
