President Pooh

My sister Susan is the middle child of the Koehler clan.  As kids we called her Poohhead.  Pooh for short.  Over the years she regularly demanded that we stop using that name.  When my children could talk, my sister Jenny told them to call her Auntie Pooh.

Susan is a smart cookie.  She married her college sweetheart John and they live in a "beach cottage" in Manhattan Beach, LA.  My adorable niece Ryan keeps them hopping.  I don't think she's allowed to call her mom Pooh.

Susan is an amazing lawyer and a partner with the Sedgwick law firm.  She handles insurance disputes, fidelity, and really big cases.  Recently she's been going after the scam artists involved in the mortgage lending scandals.

When she was in college, she was president of her sorority.  That training has come in handy.  This year, she's president of the Los Angeles County Bar Foundation.  It provides pro bono services to those who can't afford a lawyer.  We are all very proud of her.  Snaps for President Pooh!!!
