Happy Birthday to David T. Archer, Esq.

This week marks the Triple Crown of birthdays...
Colin celebrated his first birthday on May 4th. Sam Castiglione celebrated his first birthday on May 5th. And today, David celebrates his 31st birthday. Woot woot! It's a week long party.

We have had alot going on in the Archer household the last few weeks. To culminate the craziness, David started his first trial yesterday. I wish I could be a fly on the wall because I'd really love to see him in the courtroom. Hopefully he'll get out early today so we can celebrate. And by celebrate I mean no house projects, no driving many miles, no fielding phone calls from various professionals, no staying up to the wee hours of the morning to rehearse for upcoming court appearances or plays (yes plays). I hope that he can come home, have a nice dinner and then just fall onto the couch and stay there. He deserves it! Happy birthday David.

This was in the "Daily Record" a couple days ago. Here is the text to go with it:

Students at three Rochester elementary schools on April 30 were asked to decide whether
Pinocchio should recover damages from the Blue Fairy for emotional distress caused by his ever
growing nose. The lawyers and staff of Harter Secrest & Emery’s Litigation Unit presented their 10th original Law Day courtroom play for a student jury of 300 at the Memorial Art Gallery Auditorium. Partner Tom Smith transformed the children’s story into the courtroom drama,
complete with costumed characters. In this year’s production, Pinocchio, a youngster whom the Blue Fairy has magically changed from a wooden puppet boy into a real boy, is unhappy with the outcome as his nose continues to grow whenever he strays from the truth. Pinocchio claimed the Fairy promised to change him “into a real boy through and through” but that she failed to cure his “nose problem.”

He sought damages for alleged magical malpractice. Intellectual property lawyer Brad Salai portrayed Pinocchio, with immigration paralegal Jen Frohman as the Blue Fairy and lawyers Mike Didas as Gepetto, David Archer as Dr. Jim N.E. Cricket, Langston McFadden as Judge Douglas Fir, and Meghan Lynch and Tom Smith as the trial attorneys. Later in the day, the Monroe County Bar Association celebrated its annual Law Day luncheon at the
Rochester Riverside Convention Center, at which several area attorneys were honored with legal service and other achievement awards.

John Crowe was presented with the Adolph J. Rodenbeck Award. Monroe County Bar Association. Executive Director Mary Corbitt was presented with the Foundation of the Monroe County Bar’s Humanitarian Award. Robert Turner received The Legal Aid Society’s James R. Boyle Award. Shaleeya B. McFadden, Phillip R. Hurwitz, Lucien A. Morin II and Kareen V. Zeitounzian received William E. McKnight Volunteer Service Awards from Volunteer Legal Services Project Inc.
