“All you hear are the bad stories,” she shakes her head. “Latinos are poor, uneducated, and worse. You never about the engineers – like Raul Valdes-Perez, a Carnegie Mellon Ph.D. who started Vivisimo, a sophisticated search engine. Or physicians — like my brother Juan Sanchez, a Connecticut cardio-thoracic surgeon. Or attorneys –” like Lourdes Sanchez Ridge herself.

In Pittsburgh since 1990, a senior counsel with Thorp Reed & Armstrong, Downtown, Sanchez Ridge was born in Havana, moved to Miami at age six. Having gone to school in Miami, and law school in Gainesville, she returned home to serve as an assistant state attorney, then a DC-based assistant US attorney, conducting some four dozen trials and more than 100 grand jury investigations. Now in Pittsburgh, where she moved with her husband, fellow attorney Bob Ridge.”*
