Federal Magistrate PHIL RESTREPO celebrated his 50th birthday at his home. His wife CATHY was the hostess for the affair which was held outdoors. It was a lovely day, with bright sunshine and hardly a cloud in the sky. Among those in attendance was his former boss at the Federal Public Defenders, MAUREEN ROWLEY.

McCaffery ran a credible campaign, as did DAN McELHATTON and BRIAN GRADY. Of course, applause has to be sounded for the fine job of the victor, SETH WILLIAMS.
