Federal Judge Robert Takasugi has died
I listened to U.S. District Court Judge Robert Takasugi speak at some rubber chicken lunch or another about 15 years ago when I was a reporter at the Los Angeles Daily Journal. His story was one of those riveting ones that begins with the hardships of an internment camp and ends with a career of community service.

Larry Altman has covered crime in the South Bay since 1990. He's seen it all - the missing model who turned up dead in the desert, the wives found dead in trunks, the high-school coaches who get a little too close to their players. He drives his young colleagues nuts with his "I remember when" stories. He welcomes your tips and observations about the present, and you can mix in a little Lakers basketball talk if you like.

Bob Takasugi swore me into Federal Court many years ago, and I met him occasionally over the years in functions away from the court. He was the "genuine
article," and I am truly sorry to read of his death. My sincerest condolences to his family. Ralph L. Seifer, Long Beach
