I ran into Brad Berry this morning at the Coffee Cottage. I first got acquainted with Brad years ago when we served together on the Newberg Human Resources board. He was a Newberg attorney then. Later my appreciation for Brad grew again when I was on the Yamhill County United Way board that he chaired.
It must have been about a year before Brad was elected District Attorney that I was called to serve on the grand jury. I learned more about vile acts and people’s inability to resolve conflict than I wanted to know. This is what the district attorney’s office deals with day after day. Brad—and others like him—have my respect as they form a levy to abate the tide of crime, conflict, and corruption.
I see Brad’s name in the paper more often than I see his face, but both serve as a reminder to be thankful for what he does.

Brad's a cool cat and a smart guy. I met him through his wife Lou--we were in grad school together. Little known fact: Brad and Lou just became grandparents!
