Richard Bernstein
Anyone who knows Richard Bernstein, knows he's a very personable and engaging person who fits in easily with others.
So maybe it's no surprise that Ed White of the Associated Press put together a cute story on how Bernstein, newly elected to the state Supreme Court, is like family to the Chief Justice Robert Young Jr.
White writes:
The Michigan Supreme Court's newest justice is at ease with Chief Justice Robert Young Jr. After all, Richard Bernstein is like family.
In fact, there's Bernstein in the front row of a large photo at the Young family reunion in 2013.
"Little did I know," Young told The Associated Press, "that he would be my colleague — as well as my cousin."
Well, not exactly. But Bernstein was welcomed at the reunion as a guest of Cynthia Overton of Silver Spring, Maryland, his best friend and Young's cousin.
Justice Robert Young Jr.White writes that the Young family gets together every few years around July 4.
