Michele Longo Eder J.D. ‘79 has embraced roles in her life that defy convention: a lawyer known for her dedication to her clients, a Democrat who was selected by the Bush Administration for a seat on the U.S. Arctic Research Commission, a mother and self-proclaimed proud fisherman’s wife. As she wraps up her legal career, she now adds a new role to her diverse identifiers: author.  Her book, Salt in Our Blood: A Memoir of a Fisherman’s Wife, debuts this month, detailing her family’s life on the Oregon coast and the tragic fishing accident that took her son.  The Oregonian recently profiled Eder and her rich, multi-faceted life.
