favorite court trip so far was a
w eekend trip to Elgin. She
especially liked it because, “we
got to go swimming and shopping
and stay the night.”
Her favorite thing about
being a court princess is all the
support people have provided

and all the gifts she has received.

Phillip Spicerkuhn. son of
Bill Kuhn and Ann Spicer of
Heppner has been interning for
his parents at the law office of
Kuhn, Spicer and Greenawalt this
summer. Spicerkuhn, who is in his
second year o f law school at
University of Oregon, has been
working in the office since Mav
13.
“ Law school d o e sn ’t
really teach you the practical
stuff,” he said, “most o f it I’m
learning for the first time." This
is Spicerkuhn's first time working
in a law office. “He has done real
well. 1 think this has been an eye-
opener,” said Ann Spicer.
Spicerkuhn said that he
has been able to apply what he's
learned toward real law situations
this summer in addition to doing
m any research projects and
putting together an appeals brief.
He graduated from H eppner
High School in 1996, and spent his
first four years working toward a
general science degree. He says
he isn't sure where he will end
up two years from now when he
finishes law school.
“He's been real valuable
for us,” said Bill Kuhn, “a real plus
to the office. There’s a lot o f
difference between kids as teens
and when they grow up in their
ability to communicate. When
kids say that they enjoy spending
time with their parents— you
don't really hear those things
(from a teen). It's been a really
fun experience.”
Kuhn also said that it is
hard to get an intern for the
summer because of Heppner’s
location and that not many law
students want to leave their
university towns for the summer
to intern.
Spicerkuhn goes back to
law school on August 20.
