An infant whose drop from a second-floor window was chronicled in an award-winning photograph is now a Boston-area lawyer.
The child dropped from a window 30 years ago this week is a graduate of the Massachusetts School of Law and now apparently enrolled in the graduate tax program at the Boston University School of Law, Legal Blog Watch reports.
William Sheridan Jr. was only 7 months old when he was dropped from a burning building by his father and captured by a neighbor standing below, the Boston Globe reports. His twin sister was also dropped and captured.
The children’s parents were later rescued by firefighters who climbed a ladder to get them. The amateur photographer gave the $5,000 he earned from the photograph to the Sheridans to help them get back on their feet after the fire.
