Don't forget Viles
Don't forget Viles

Your recent editorial appropriately listed the accomplishments of Franklin Pierce Law Center President Robert Rines and his innovative views, which have so dramatically improved the legal landscape of New Hampshire ("People are Rines's biggest legacy," Monitor, Nov. 6).
However, in extolling the virtues of Rines, you neglected to give equally appropriate attribution to Dean Robert Viles. Viles was the academic equal to Rines's creative genius. Before his retirement, Viles brought intellect, scholarship and a Mainer's dry wit to the "bull barn." The success of Franklin Pierce Law Center is due in large measure to the weird and wonderful partnership of these fine gentlemen, both of whom are missed.
