My first impression of Craig Hunter has never been betrayed. He struck me as a careful, thoughtful, idealistic and daring attorney. Taking on a Fortune 100 colossus like Johnson Controls Inc. is not something for the faint hearted. My admiration for Mr. Hunter has only grown. <\/p>\n<p>In my own small way I&#8217;d like our community to know what a gem it has in Mr. Hunter despite this unfortunate legal setback. This anecdote that I prodded out of him touched me deeply.<\/p>\n<p>At one of our conferences a few weeks ago I told him I&#8217;d enjoy getting together to share a bottle of wine with him. (I consider myself a connoisseur of any good wine I can buy as cheaply as possible) Mr. Hunter told me that he&#8217;d be happy to get together but that he didn&#8217;t drink.<\/p>\n<p>I let this comment go for a while but my curiosity got the better of me and I asked him. &#8220;Well Craig. How come you are a teetotaler? Are you a member of AA or is this some sort of religious practice?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>No, he told me, he&#8217;d married a woman who had some trouble with alcohol as a young woman and he resolved to stop drinking as an act of solidarity to support her.<\/p>\n<p>Craig Hunter is one in a million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m sure the Red Plan cheerleaders will be crowing over this set back and heaping abuse on the taxpayer&#8217;s attorney, Craig Hunter.
