- In the mid-70s, a UW law student told me that he had become acquainted
- with a trio of fellow students named (he swore it was true): Swindler,
- Lawless, and Moneymaker. Ah, if only they had set up a practice together!
-
- Also, during that era, a pair of dental practitioners named Carey
- (brothers--did they go into auto mechanics later?), set up practice in the
- University district. They immediately became known as the 'Dental
- Careys.'
