Linda J. Jakubs ’80
Linda Jakubs ’80 reports, “This summer, my life and law partner, Bill Wigoda, and I celebrated the 20th anniversary of unwedded bliss as well as his 70th birthday by fly-fishing areas in Alaska’s Katmai National Park known only to our bush pilot, guide, grizzlies, and probably the lodge’s sommelier. Back in the ‘Lower 48,’ we continue to split our residency between our Loop loft and a chunk of an old dairy farm in northwest Indiana. Otherwise, I pretty much avoid going north of, say, Howard Street, except of course to handle clients’ matters at the Lake County courthouse.”
