Many years ago, I joined the Tarrant County's DA Office. Being new, I received such fine perks as sharing an office with two other prosecutors. There were two desks. They got them. I got a chair. Yep, a chair. Good times.
But the two prosecutors who I was court partners with were Mitch Poe and Robert "Bob" Ford. Mitch, who was younger than me, was a 100% prosecutor and was expected to be a career man in the office. It turned out that way. He died suddenly about five years ago.
Bob was a civil libertarian who didn't stick around the DA's office very long. He became a defense lawyer and was known to give the most non politically correct quotes to the press. He was also brilliant. But he, like Mitch, died suddenly last week.
It's just a weird feeling. Three guys stuck in a little office. And now only I remain.

If it's a pattern, you have five years left.
There can be only one...
3 Questions:
1)Did they keep/operate a "blog"?
2)Did they jog/run competetively?
3)Did they have pre-teen females in the house?
Good luck with this and I wish the best for you!
and that makes you the winner!
Lucky you took the chair and not the desk!
Looks like the 3-bedroom apartment still has an empty room.
I am sorry to hear of Bob's death. I didn't know him well but knew Mitch -- his ex Vera and I worked together. He was in fact one of the great guys. What about Robert Foran from the office at that time. Is he still kicking?
I just saw Robert Foran at Bob Ford's funeral. Still kicking.
These things come in 3s. Update your life insurance and cherish this Christmas. It's probably your last if you even make it to Christmas.

Was there asbestos in that office?

I feel the same way about being the only one still living from my wedding photos. Bridesmaids, groom, and groomsmen are now deceased. I'm only 51.
