The Beginning
Hi there! My name is Shannon Gunn Emery. I confess that I am a lawyer - through and through. How did that happen? Surely there was a way to avoid it? My mother is guiltless in all of this. It is not really her fault that I went in this direction. While she did often encourage me in subtle, but powerful, ways, in this episode, the finger is pointed squarely at my father, Peter Bruce Gunn. This should act as a warning to all those who are contemplating the practice of law - or maybe you will hear a different message. Thank you for joining me in this ongoing Adventure in Law and Life.
