I appeared in front of Judge Harold Burke with Lou Ryen in order to get sworn in as a new lawyer. Lou had been practicing for about 10 years and was well known to Judge Burke who had been appointed by FDR in 1937 and was the longest serving federal judge in US history. Lou introduced me to Judge Burke along with another young lawyer (whose name I don’t remember). At that time he was the only federal judge in Rochester. Judge Burke quickly and gruffly told Lou, “One at a time Mr. Ryen.” I don’t know who was more shook up, Lou or me.
