News - Protest furor a blip in lawyer's success story - sacbee.com: "The last time Virginia and Stephen Pearcy popped up in the press, they were celebrating.

Pearcy's story - growing up poor, skipping high school and landing an $84,000-a-year position before reaching drinking age - was written by The Bee and other media organizations.
Now the Pearcys are drawing media attention again, this time for hoisting a soldier's uniform at their Land Park home in an anti-war protest, angering war supporters.
Virginia Pearcy's story of success began when she left home and a mother who couldn't make ends meet after she graduated from Sutter Middle School, she told The Bee in 1998.
Then Virginia Johnson, she jumped to Sacramento City College, claiming to be 18 when she enrolled. She graduated with honors from UC Davis with a math degree.
Virginia met Stephen Pearcy when she was in junior high. He was her 31-year-old math tutor. He was a student at UC Davis and worked as a lab technician.
She moved in with him the summer after eighth grade. They had their own rooms, and didn't get romantically involved until after she left UC Davis, they said.
Now Virginia Pearcy practices corporate and intellectual property law at the San Francisco office of Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe, a large, international law firm. Stephen Pearcy is also a lawyer."
