Joyous day in Boston on Monday celebrating the inauguration of my college roommate and lifetime friend Ralph Gants as the 36th Chief Justice of the Mass. Supreme Judicial Court. Predecessors include John Adams and Oliver Wendell Holmes. Special treat was to meet Judge Bill Webster, the former FBI Director and CIA director (Ralphs boss at the FBI), who is now 90. Perfect ending to an extraordinary day occurred at Fenway Park when Ralph achieved his lifetime dream of throwing the first pitch of the Red Sox game with the Toronto Blue Jays.. see the new Chief Justice demonstrating pitching form in his new office and wearing his new Red Sox uniform shirt at Fenway, getting congratulatory hand-shakes... For a brief moment, there was a giddy sense that the stars had aligned, and an amazingly hard working, decent, humble, brilliant, kind, and patient human being was recognized in an extraordinary way.
