Letter from Richard Remmer '77

President Falk, 


I find  it quite ironic that I should learn of Sheafe's abrupt termination at the end of a month during which I have spent virtually every professorial minute working on two matters which are otherwise unrelated except for threads that wind back to Sheafe. Both matters have been long term labors, both involve Federal Court cases and my involvement in both is based on a foundation , the cornerstones of which were set in classes with Sheafe, including a mantra to look at things from every possible angle. Sheafe was one of the three Williams professors who most influenced my education and career paths. It is unlikely that I would have attended law school or pursued projects and cases involving land use planning and management or environmental issues had it not been for Sheafe. More importantly there is no doubt in my mind that I and many other alums have enjoyed every day of our lives a little bit more because we have never looked at the world  in the same way since interfacing with Sheafe. Hopefully Williams will take the time to look at Sheafe's contract and future in a different way. 


Best Regards Richard Remmer 77'
