He was always gracious, sharing, and despite his considerable accomplishments, not full of himself. When I revised one of Norris's minor conclusions in The Great Thirst, that California courts did not intentionally distort Spanish and Mexican law in creating Los Angeles's "pueblo water right" to the L.A. River, he acknowledged the correction publicly, saying at the Western History Association that "by your students you shall be taught." I just attended his memorial service at a quiet church in Santa Barbara, filled with family and friends. Norris will be greatly missed. Peter Reich, Whittier Law School. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
