CO: Kaplan kudos

PD Stuff and others are marking a mile-high transition:

Public defender to step down - Highly respected David Kaplan joining local law firm

David Kaplan will step down on Nov. 1 as Colorado's state public defender. Kaplan is so well liked that when his appointment was announced in 1999, cheers went up in the Denver public defender's office...

Coincidentally, this also happened to me in Twin, but on news of my resignation...
