What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Aug 15, 2008

by Steve Smith

Things were going good for Amy Cabrero, a 2008 graduate of Texas Wesleyan University School of Law. Cabrero ’s husband Mike, a staff sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps who recently completed a tour of duty in Iraq, arrived back on July 31, in time to meet Amy as she finished the three-day Texas bar exam. They were back together and moving to San Diego … what could possibly go wrong? How about an electrical short in the moving van that resulted in a fire that destroyed almost all of the their belongings, including her newly framed law degree? Here’s hoping things get better out in Cali, y’all. (Tip o’ the hat to Frontburner.)
