Personally, I thought Joe Mannix was the coolest ever.

If you spent much time on L&S, you probably ran across my friend, Marty Nadler?

Most of this thread is nonsense. You sir, have had an interesting career!

Hi! Hubby practiced patent law as a law firm partner and enjoyed it for 35 years! He says nice to hear from a professional colleague.

Were any Forum Rules violated with this question?

Looking at the responses, it doesn't appear too many people were "offended" by what I asked. If folks wish not to divulge what occupation they were in, that's fine; but it appears many folks found the question interesting. However, folks should never tell others what they can and cannot ask in an open forum.

I started playing drums at age 5 and was playing at large gigs (1000's of people) at age 11. Then went to college and majored in economics and accounting. BORING! Took up computers and did everything during the 43+ years in IT: programmer, system programmer, networking, then database which I did for the last 26 years. The last 10 years I wrote white papers on how to do certain things with Solid State Storage that will make the computer systems in the largest companies in the world run faster. I traveled the world giving talks, presenting at large computer shows, and working with our sales people.
I retired early to cruise, play sports, and do investing.
I do have a temp gig now that doesn't pay much (I don't do it for the pay) but has many perks: Bra/lingerie fitter at Victoria Secrets!

Not familiar with L&S? I knew Marty's name and we did many of the same shows but never met him. Yes, it was an interesting life.

True Story. I had a neighbor before moving here that was a physician and he had a brother that was in the metal scrap business. The neighbor told me that when his mother would meet someone new she would always say " I have two sons, one is a physician and the other is successful". I knew both of them and the mother was correct.

Laverne & Shirley. I think Marty was a Producer on that show for a while. I know he did some writing for the show. He was the most naturally funny human being I've ever met.

I sold hearing aids door-to-door. Problem was…my best prospects never answered the door! 🤷🏼*♂️

Heh.

Mid-80s or so and the city was digging up a sewer in back of our office building. I was taking an afternoon stroll and happened on by. Four guys in the pit, maybe 8 feet or so deep. Along with some casual banter I observed that given the lateness of the day they'd be working overtime. One of the guys in the pit said "Yeah. I used to be a doctor but there just wasn't enough money in it'.

I was a huge fan of Lucas Tanner - was a one-season show when I was in 8th grade in the mid 70s - would love to find it streaming someplace or on DVD - haven’t seen it since then.

Here's the link for all Lucas Tanner episodes.

There was a retired DC patent lawyer who came to the dog park but he passed around 12 years ago.

We also had a retired NYC labor lawyer who was on Talk of the Villages but he also might have passed. He was on TOTV a few years ago,
