Jim Carpenter insists it was just a practical joke.Three years ago, the Grant County lawyer impersonated a former classmate who is now a coach and counselor at a local high school and posted the following message on an Internet bulletin board.
"Hey all! How is it going. I am married to an incredibly beautiful woman, AND I get to hang out with high school chicks all day (and some evenings too). I have even been lucky with a few. It just doesn't get better than this."
The former classmate didn't laugh -- especially when school officials launched an investigation that could have ended his career.
[L]ast week, the Oregon Supreme Court publicly reprimanded Carpenter, whose practice includes criminal defense work, divorce, civil litigation and probate.
