In 1996  my father, Bernie, and I went to the Navy Game in Dublin on September 1, 2012 I completed the circle by attending the Emerald Isle Classic in Dublin with my son, Michael.  We were joined at the Pep Rally by classmate Tom Moore.  We also met Bridget Keating, the Senior Class President of the 2008 graduating class of ND.  The meeting of Senior Class Presidents produced an agenda for our reunions of the Class of 1968 and the Class of 2008.  You can hear about The Minton Firm on WLS 890 AM during Chet Coppock’s Pregame Show.  Also attended a ND Tailgate Party at Soldier’s Field for the Miami game with members of the Class of ’48, ’56, ’68 and ’69.  Daughter Melanie was married on the Beach in Grand Beach on June 9, 2012 with a cheering squad of 150 in attendance.  Daughter Morgan, a DePaul graduate, is sitting for her CPA Exam.  Daughter Annie is a junior at Northern and my granddaughter Madison (ND class of 2026) just turned 8.  After 40 years of “practicing” I finally got it right.  The Wall Street Journal and The Tribune named The Firm as “Chicago’s Top Rated Lawyers” for 2012.  I was also appointed State Coordinator for the National Board of Trial Advocacy and Family Law Chair Elect for the AAJ (American Association for Justice).  Only missing 19 home games since 1968, I look forward to our tailgating and reminiscing about the Era of Ara.
