Via Nancy and VLW, I saw this article in the Bluefield paper on the memorial for Greg Matney, a district court judge. I never knew him except as a voice on the telephone in a couple of cases.
If you wanted to be a judge and only got to be one for a short time, would that be better than not at all? I think so. I have reached similar conclusions about other life goals - even a little of the real whatever is better than none.
Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Greg would have said "no thanks" to the offer of being named as a judge even for such a short time. What is so sad is there wouldn't have been a better person on the bench.
He should have had longer.
