FREE WHITEWATER

Daily Bread: December 17, 2008

Good morning, Whitewater

There are no scheduled public meetings in the City of Whitewater today.

The National Weather Service predicts decreasing clouds, and a high of 18 degrees. The Farmers’ Almanac continues its series, predicting conditions turning wet, “especially the Great Lakes.”

Yesterday’s better prediction: NWS — “snow” trumps “wet.”

In our schools today, there is a Choir Concert at 7:30 PM in the high school auditorium.

In Wisconsin history for this day, the Wisconsin Historical Society marks the birthday of Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson, born in 1933.

On this date Wisconsin Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson was born in New York City. A graduate of Hunter College high school, Abrahamson received a BA from NYU in 1953. She received a JD from Indiana University Law School in 1956. She was first appointed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 1976, to fill a vacancy created by the death of Chief Justice Horace W. Wilkie. She became Chief Justice on August 1, 1996, upon the retirement of Chief Justice Roland B. Day. Abrahamson is the first female to serve as Chief Justice for Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Happy birthday, and best wishes for the retention campaign ahead.

Much more to be posted, I’m sure, on the record of your likely — but unready — opponent, Judge Koshnick of Jefferson County.
