Blast From the Past

Today I received a briefing on a lawsuit against the State from assistant AG Jerry Jensen. My wife (fiance' at the time) was Jerry's intern 15-years ago when Jerry was in the House. She loved that experience and holds the memories dear. Jerry said she was the best intern he ever had (no surprise there; she's the best wife I ever had), and he said, "But I seem to remember her saying she wanted to be in the legislature some day."

Hmm. Better have that "special seasoning" she sprinkles on my food tested.

Anthony McMullin is my intern this year. He's my first one from St. George, and I'm very excited to be working with him. He's a great young man. Anthony got an associates from Dixie State College and now is going to Southern Utah University. [I have spent 5 minutes trying to make a funny about marrying him off, but the Clinton years have cast a long shadow on the gamut of intern/dating jokes].

My interns have been fantastic, and I've been fortunate to keep in touch with a few of them. Last year's intern -- the legendary Josh Wilcox (which I don't say just because he reads this blog) -- is working in D.C. and is applying to law school; I had such high hopes for him.
