The Legal Affair - Jim Is Bragging About Brycie Again!!!

On April 25, 2009, we attended a most marvelous banquet at the Grand Ballroom of the Skirvin Hotel in Oklahoma City. The banquet was a scholarship fundraiser for OCU School of Law scholarships, and the invitation committee included a number of the elite graduating law school seniors. It was probably one of the finest and most enjoyable banquets we've ever attended. Here are some photos of a few of the celebrities.

Entering the Ballroom.
Here is my celebrity.

It's fun being the husband of a very smart person.

Brycie and two of her dear law school friends, Julia Dittberner and Allesan Armstrong.

The Master of Ceremonies was Mike Turpen, former Attorney General in Oklahoma.

Dean of the OCU School of Law, Lawrence Hellman.

Bill Conger, general counsel for OCU School of Law, and one of Jim's law school classmates from long ago.

Professor Arthur LeFrancois. He was Brycie's criminal law professor during her second year. At the final exam, he came into the exam room and asked some of the students if everyone had what they needed. Brycie, "tongue-in-cheek" said "no." He replied, also tongue-in-cheek, "are we lacking knowledge?" Brycie had the absolute top grade in the class and won the CALI award for the top grade. Maybe she wasn't lacking knowledge. Actually, she has received a CALI award every semester she has been in law school. There I go bragging on my wife again.

Professor Von Creel. He was Brycie's professor in Conflicts of Law.

Honorable Marian Opala, Oklahoma Supreme Court Justice. He was Jim's legal writing professor back in the olden days.

Bill Burkett, former United States Attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma (1969-1975), and former District Judge in Oklahoma County.

Honorable Robert Henry. He served as Oklahoma's Attorney General from 1987-1991; he was Dean of the OCU Law School from 1991-1994; then he was appointed to the United States 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver.
