Sam Towler and Sophie Schorling Honored

August 20, 2009

Congratulations to staff members Sam Towler and Sophie Schorling for recent achievements. Sam had a book published, and Sophie was honored with the Anne Pollok Hemmings Clinical Excellence Award.

Sam Towler

Sam has been with MichieHamlett since 1995. He is a legal assistant with the Personal Injury Group, and does document research and organization. Sam’s book, The Court Doth Order, was published by the New Papyrus Publishing Company. Sam gathered the data by going over to the courthouse on his lunch hour for the last six years, and taking meticulous notes on genealogical information.

This is from the company's website, http://genealogyresources.org/: To compile this prodigious new genealogy release, the author spent years transcribing data from original county and city record books. This volume contains guardianships (Charlottesville); apprenticeships/bound outs; African-American subjects; citizenship references; Revolutionary War, War of 1812 and Civil War references along with miscellaneous orders. More than 12,000 entries are included in the index. This publication is a major addition to the genealogical record for both Albemarle and Charlottesville.

Sophie Schorling

Sophie has been with MichieHamlett since 1993. She graduated in 1978 with a BSN degree from Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio, and received her masters of nursing from the University of Virginia in 1999. Prior to receiving her master’s degree, Sophie’s nursing career consisted of working in the intensive care unit and emergency room for over 20 years.

In her role as a nurse at MichieHamlett, Sophie assists the attorneys with personal injury and medical malpractice cases.

On Monday, August 17, 2009, Sophie was honored at a dinner held in the UVA Rotunda as one of the first recipients of the Anne Pollok Hemmings Clinical Excellence Award. Initiated by Ms. Hemmings former students at UVA, the class of 1959, this award honors clinical education of nursing students. Sophie will be starting her 12th year as a clinical instructor for 3rd and 4th years nursing students and it is through their evaluations she was chosen for this award.

Kudos to Sam and Sophie!
