POSITIVE RECOGNITION

I am grateful for Angelita Plemmer's article on the good community service by lawyers. It's so nice to read good news rather than another ``lawyer-bashing'' article, currently in vogue.

The ``Legal Food Frenzy'' sponsored by the Norfolk and Portsmouth Bar Association and other legal professional groups, involving the competition of law firms in the process of donating large numbers of canned foods and money to the Southeastern Virginia Food Bank, is an annual activity of which we lawyers are very proud.

Thanks for the positive recognition.
