LAURA GENE MIDDAUGH

**Laura ----What the government calls me
**Laura Gene ---What my father called me when he was upset with me
**Genie---What friends and real people call me

Starting in California, I became a Registered Nurse.

Moved to Seattle, became a lawyer – with hobbies. Why? Serendipity

Then a King County Superior Court Judge. How? Friends, political supporters (ask me why we elect judges).

A lover of fashion, singing, dogs, and people.

By age 75, what have I learned?
⦁ Basically, people are good. Dogs are better.
⦁ Trust yourself, even if other’s don’t.
⦁ It is never too late to say “I love you.”
⦁ Yes, do it – with vigor. You may think you will make a fool of yourself, but who cares. No one remembers that. They remember you in joy.
⦁ Somehow, somewhere, sometime, tomorrow will come and things will be better.
