I am on the alumni council and receive The Bates Student. I just got the January 16th issue and was reminded of a funny story when I read that Bates was mentioned on Ally McBeal. David E. Kelly producer/writer (of "LA Law" and "Ally McBeal") wrote an episode of "LA Law" where there was a law firm called Colby,Bowdoin - he also had a character vacation in Waterville. I got a bunch of friends to sign a letter demanding equal time. He sent a letter back (kept it for my scrap book!) and sure enough several weeks later there was an "LA Law" case involving Lewiston vs. Bates.

Good to see he is keeping Bates in his shows!

Sincerely,

Mary Capaldi Carr '88
