        Hi Judy,
         I met
        Jascha in law school. We were in the same section so we had all of our
        classes together. Within the 1st month of school, he and Jeff Pitt took
        me to a cool restaurant in Eastern Market. He was so much fun right from
        the start while I was stressed out and sure I wouldn't make it through
        1st year. His nonchalant attitude and fun sense of humor lightened
        things up for the rest of us. In the beginning, he surprised us with his
        intelligent answers (He read these cases??!) because he seemed so laid
        back.  When Jascha walked into the room, fun walked into the room.
        He nick-named me the "hot nerd" after I bought a pair of
        cat-eye glasses. I loved how he teased us all. My husband, John, met
        Jascha at Matt Roth's law school graduation party, and of course,
        instantly liked him.   
        I heard
        of Jascha's death through a phone call from a law school classmate,
        Cheri Bruinsma. John and I attended the beautiful and touching service
        and gathered w/ law school classmates afterward, including Kristi
        Widgren, Adam Eichner and Amy Piner who are also close friends of
        mine.  I am so sorry for your (our) loss. Everyone loved Jascha. I
        will have wonderful memories of him and feel fortunate that he touched
        my life. I look forward to meeting you and thank you for inviting us to
        celebrate his life.
