As our bus neared the firm\u2019s offices, I was handed a sheet of paper that gave some background information about the firm. I was also given the biographies of the partners we would meet, one of whom is named John Jiang.\u00a0 You can imagine my surprise\u2014and pleasure\u2014when I discovered that Mr. Jiang is a Wabash grad [Class of 1991]!!!\u00a0 We had a nice time chatting about our alma mater.\u00a0 What a small world!\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4843\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4843\" style=\"width: 178px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.wabash.edu\/alumni\/files\/2012\/07\/Wilson-and-Jiang-summer-law-school-in-China-20122.jpeg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4843\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.wabash.edu\/alumni\/files\/2012\/07\/Wilson-and-Jiang-summer-law-school-in-China-20122.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"178\" height=\"294\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4843\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Jiang &#8217;91 and\u00a0Tom Wilson &#8217;77 in Beijing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Thanks for sharing, Tom!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tom\u00a0Wilson \u201977, Professor\u00a0at\u00a0Indiana University Robert H.
