I like to note when lawyers do good.
Charles Schulze, a Washington lawyer, dove into the ocean and saved two drowning children this past weekend. Schulze collapsed and died shortly thereafter.
The Blog of Legal Times reports:
"According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the fatal incident occurred while Schulze was on vacation in Pompano Beach, Fla., with Helen Smith, his partner of 20 years. The two were walking along the shore when Schulze noticed two brothers, 9 and 12, struggling in the surf. He dashed into the water and grabbed the younger boy, before swimming out more than 40 yards to fetch the older child as well."
"Schulze collapsed as he brought the older boy to shore. By the time paramedics arrived on the scene, he had no pulse."
I for one am proud to share a profession with Mr. Schulze.
