Typically, we would deliver comments we receive prior to our public hearing, but in this case it seems prudent to provide them now. As new letters arrive, I will forward them along.
Jerry Howe -----Original Message----- From: Christine Martin Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2020 3:53 PM To: Jerry Howe Subject: RE: Margaret Plane Nomination To the Senate Judicial Confirmation Committee, I am writing to you in regards to Margaret Plane’s nomination to the Appeals Court. I have known Margaret close to 20 years on a personal level. I have traveled with her, shared holidays with her and her husband Hans. I have shared my career objectives, career challenges, my personal achievements as well as anguish. Margaret has a consistently patient ear for listening and deciphering the nuances of any situation. She doesn’t interject until she hears everything. She has a unique way of assimilating all the facts and offering ideas and suggestions that I may not have thought of. Always encouraging me to reach my goals and be the best I can be. When in need of a friend herself, she reaches out and always considers my opinions valid. I cherish that in great friendships. She is a very thoughtful person never selfish in her actions. She is great fun and enjoys laughter and sharing her time with friends and family. Conversation with her is always lively and interesting as she is so well read and informed with all that is current. She is a joy to be around and I am forever grateful to call her my friend. She will be a fantastic asset to the court, we are all fortunate when we engage with her. Sincerely, Christine Martin 4215 Park Terrace Drive, Salt Lake City, UT 84124 801-599-1598
