My second and third year I was involved in the Law School show (I wrote the show with some help from Kathy Imholz the 2nd year, and was the stage manager the 3rd year.)
After living in the dorm for the first 2 years I rented an apartment the third year, and had a few parties there.
Michael Hertz was born in 1944 in New York City and graduated from Pomona College in 1967 with a bachelor of arts in economics and from Harvard Law School in 1970 with a Juris Doctor degree. He worked as a law professor at Dalhousie Faculty of Law, University of Oregon School of Law, and University of Maine School of Law, and practiced law at Coudert Freres in Paris, France, and Lang, Richert & Patch in Fresno, California. He retired from law practice in 2010 and presently lives in Los Angeles, California.
Above 3 parties with mostly Law School show people, and my family at the show.
Thanks to the first computer dating services, I dated lots of girls (women?) in law school:
My best friend in Law School, Bob Israel also had a lot of dates:
My third year I had my own apartment and gave lots of parties:

DIANA ALTMAN
Al Altman and Joan Crawford
I
grew up on New Rochelle, New York, in a house on Avon Road that had
black shutters and a roof that hung down over its face like bangs. In
the front yard was an apple tree and all around the house were luxuriant
gardens tended by my mother. I was allowed to pick bouquets of roses to
bring to my grammar school teachers which I did even though I didn’t
like most of them. I spent a lot of time in the hall because I talked
when I was supposed to be quiet. To this day I think being bored and in a
position of no escape is almost unbearable. I have come to believe that
impatience is genetic.The belief that our personality traits are built in comes from years of writing about horses. I was a contributing editor for Northeast Horseman, and a freelance journalist for The Chronicle of the Horse and Saddlebred Report. Horse breeders understand that stubbornness is inherited and so is a quality they describe as “a willingness to please.” And so is “go forward.” In humans we call that ambition. Praise for a horse is, “he has a lot of go forward.”
Strange how you can’t breed for beauty. My father used to say that a beautiful woman is a freak. He meant you seldom see one. He saw a lot of pretty girls in his career as a talent scout for MGM. He discovered Joan Crawford, Ava Gardner, Jimmy Stewart, Celeste Holm, Robert Walker, and dozens of other unknown actors who became stars. He said that Ava Gardner was the most beautiful woman he ever saw. I inherited her screen test which I’ve shown when I lecture about the film industry. Ava Gardner, age 17, walks toward the camera, then away, then shows both profiles. Her southern accent was so strong you couldn’t understand a word she said so my father took the sound out of the screen test footage. Louis B. Mayer phoned him to say, “She can’t talk, she can’t act, she’s terrific!”

WE NEVER TOLD
Set in an era when unwed mothers were shamed and pressured into giving their newborns away, We Never Told
is a slice of America when the Hollywood lifestyle was at its height.
That era still haunts us today, because those babies did not disappear;
they grew up and went searching. Sonya is determined to unearth her
glamorous mother’s secret, but when she finally does, she discovers
something much worse than those around her ever could have imagined.
20 end-of-summer beach reads for 2019
Looking for the perfect book for Labor Day weekend? Read on.
“Altman’s writing is thoughtful and articulate...The
author speaks with sophistication and style about the experiences of
American women in the recent past.”
In its finely observed depiction of family dynamics, We Never Told reminds me of Marilynne Robinson’s Housekeeping or Richard Ford’s Canada. This is a compelling novel that deserves to be widely read.
Altman's uncanny ability to yoke the everyday drama out of life and imbue her characters with an emotional complexity makes We Never Told
a novel that gets to the essence of what family is. A tale that unfolds
with nuance and an endearing sense of humor, this is the kind of
writing that is impossible to shake as it bravely mirrors our collective
experience of learning to love what feels at times impossible to
embrace.
Diana Altman’s We Never Told is a witty,
insightful, compelling novel about a woman’s journey to unlock a
family secret that is burning a hole in her life. The deftly told story
offers a fresh look at the way childhood myths cast shadows on adult
life. This book grabbed me from the first page and never disappointed.
Diana Altman is a brilliantly clever novelist.
There are stories relating to
women that are as timeless as time itself. As advanced as society may
become, there are issues that women and their children deal with that
seem never to change. We Never Told is one such
tale…Families are a sum total of all of their parts, no child is raised
in a vacuum…That is the beautiful lesson of We Never Told. Altman weaves together an incredible story of women, children, families, care-takers…a timely read for today’s generation.
