Too bad. She has been an excellent Judge and will be missed.

Judge Alden is great judge. We had a jury trial with her presiding not too long ago and other than ruling on a few objections, you might not have even known she was in the room. That is the sign of a great judge: there to referee over disputes, but not to interfere! IMHO
She will certainly be missed on the bench.
