For Geoff Hulse, being an attorney in his hometown was never a foregone conclusion. Even though there was a Hulse and Hulse law firm, run by his father and brother, Herbert Bruce Hulse, senior and junior, respectively. But that was not Geoff's thought as he started college at 17. "When I found out I was going to Carolina, I said, 'I will not be a lawyer and I will not come back to Goldsboro,'" he says now. Famous last words. He had loftier dreams.
