Sep 14, 2015
This year I accepted a volunteer position on the board for Appalachian Outreach, Inc. (AOI), which is based in Moundsville, W.Va. Prior to becoming involved with this organization, I had very little knowledge about the great things that were being accomplished by this group.  Its mission is to help relieve the burden of poverty, disaster and the loss of dignity…[...]

SEPTEMBER 11th: A Significant Memory in my Heart

Sep 11, 2015
September 11, 2001—a day that not only changed the United States of America, but the entire world. That day will always be near and dear to my heart because I was born on September 11, 1997. I can vividly remember my fourth birthday quite clearly, probably one of my earliest memories. While my mother was teaching second graders at Elm…[...]

Pennsylvania Hospitals

Sep 10, 2015
Pennsylvania hospitals can be held liable for harm caused to a patient under two theories of negligence: (1) corporate negligence, and (2) vicarious liability. Corporate negligence is a straight forward "direct" theory of negligence.  For example, a hospital can be found to be negligent if it does not provide industry standard policies and procedures governing the administration of healthcare within…[...]

One Law School Class, Many Different Lawyers

Sep 9, 2015
I recently had the opportunity to get together with a group of my friends from law school for the weekend. With the exception of one friend’s wife, who is a nurse, everyone else graduated from Notre Dame Law School the same year as me, 2013, and is now an attorney. As we got to talking about our jobs, and the…[...]

The Value of Travel

Sep 8, 2015
I have heard it said that if you don't travel it's like reading the first page of a book over and over again. I do believe that some people are born with wanderlust. My Dad used to call me "Linda Go". If a trip was mentioned, I was the first one to pack a suitcase. My son Ben inherited the…[...]

Here Come the Irish!

Sep 4, 2015
One of the things I look forward to each September is the start of another Notre Dame football season. One of my best memories is the first Notre Dame football game I ever attended.  I grew up loving football and still do. But, I never attended a Notre Dame game until I was a student. I didn’t quite know what…[...]

Hometown Pride

Sep 3, 2015
Moundsville always has been, and always will be my home. It’s true that for relatively brief periods of time I have resided in other areas—Morgantown during college, Atlanta during my first year of law school, and Wheeling for a few years when I got married—but I have never wavered when asked about my hometown.  It’s always been Moundsville.  I’m proud…[...]

Life Lessons Learned from Dad

Sep 2, 2015
I have spent a lot of time thinking about my Dad over the last few days. Had he lived, he would have been 94 years old.  He has been gone for over 10 years now, and still not a day goes by that I don’t think of him.  I learned a lot of valuable lessons from my Dad, but not…[...]

Pennsylvania Superior Court’s Recent Decision Will Improve Nursing Home Care

Sep 1, 2015
More and more nursing homes are corporatizing the delivery of healthcare to increase profits. A trend for the past several years has been to insert an "arbitration clause" in their resident agreements.  By signing this agreement, the resident or his/her legal guardian are relinquishing their right for any potential claim, no matter how egregious the circumstances, to be heard by…[...]
