New from EdNC
The Editor’s Notes
Two NC leaders passed away recently: Justice Willis Whichard and DG Martin. Whichard was in my dad’s wedding, and he went on to play a calm, steady presence in my life. I ran into Martin each year for many years at UNC’s Festival of Legal Learning, where he checked on my reading list and urged me to run marathons. They touched a lot more lives than mine and will be missed.
