My choice is my second Master Solicitor a retired professor, Director of Manpower in WW2, studied law for something to do..he was 90 when I started..and I have told of this earlier..I would seek his advise of some problem and he would yell me to go look in such and such a book, paragraph whatever sub section whatever...it would not surprise me if he knew all these reference books such that he could rattle them off eord for word. And let me tell you this..I sat in when he was going thru a lease with a lady and her 15 year old..she has as the leasee or tenant and the lease was for the house they would call home..concerned for her Son she asked ..'but Mr H what will happen if I die
.he looked over his glasses and very matter of fact voice said " Why they will bury you of course"... Another time he commented on my secretary...."June is such a nice girl but she has no sex appeal" I was for once lost for words. He still drove and would go home for lunch and have s bottle of beer so ay about 4-30 hr would pop his head into my officr whilst I was signing the mail and ask me to go out and find where he parked his car.. which was so funny given his ability as I described earlier.
Taught me so much.
