Remarks at the Clifford Calhoun Public Service Award Luncheon

2005

Speeches

Summary by Jane Thompson: In this speech, David Getches notes that when he travels the land on behalf of CU Law, Nort Steuben is often the first faculty member inquired of by alums. He recounts Nort's work for the OECD in the Ukraine when it became a republic. Also, there is a great story David tells about David coming to Boulder on a "reconnaissance trip" 35 years ago, looking for a place to set up an office for the Native American Rights Fund (NARF), and Nort encouraging an association with CU Law. Nort invited David to his home, they sipped lemonade, and Nort "gave time, and showed interest in an idea, and a person, he had no reason to embrace, except that it seemed right to him."
