I know you’ve been waiting for an “06880” link to President Trump’s 2nd impeachment trial.
Here it is: defense attorney Michael van der Veen grew up on Lamplight Lane, off Hillspoint Road near Old Mill Beach.
Michael van der Veen, in the 1978 Long Lots Junior High School yearbook, “Lion’s Clause.”
After Long Lots Junior High, he — like his siblings — headed to Choate Rosemary Hall. He graduated from the private school in 1981, then went on to Ohio Wesleyan University, Quinnipiac School of Law and Temple University School of Law.
He’s a founding partner of van der Veen, O’Neill, Hartshorn and Levin in Philadelphia.
Which you or I might pronounce, well, “Philadelphia.” When van der Veen called it “Philly-delphia” earlier today, senators from both parties laughed.
The Philadelphia lawyer had no idea why. But he sure had some words for them.
