Joe Bringman writes: “June 2006 brought
to an end my 3-year term as a King County
Bar Association trustee (including one year
as Secretary). At the KCBA Annual Dinner,
I received the 2006 President’s Award “for
Distinguished and Exemplary Service” to
KCBA, in recognition of my contributions, while
a trustee, to the efforts of the Audit Committee
(which I chaired), and subcommittees on task
forces addressing issues of judicial campaign
standards, allocation of judges to different
divisions of the King County District Court, and
same-sex marriage. No longer a trustee, I’ve been
using my “leisure” time to write articles- profiles,
really- concerning some of the more prominent
local lawyers. I’m currently working on one
concerning William Neukom, President-Elect of
the ABA, which will appear in the January 2007
Bar Bulletin. As to non-leisure time, it’s mostly
a combination of securities, antitrust and other
complex commercial litigation at Perkins Coie,
where I’ve been practicing law for the last 21+
years.”

Providence, RI to Pittsburgh, in order to be closer
to Jennifer’s family who live here. I’m enjoying my
new job as a psychologist at Allegheny Children’s
Initiative and adjusting to life in ‘Steeler country.’
Pittsburgh’s a very hilly and surprisingly treefilled
city with lots of great things to do with
kids. It’s also kind of cool having a 26 yearold
mayor- Luke Ravenstahl”. Dr. Giuseppe

technology through from conception to very high
volume. Our newer company (Nicobar Group) is
