History of the Roanoke Bar Association Display Case

Today Cathy Caddy and I put the finishing touches on the RBA display case. You can see it for yourself in the Law Library. It looks really cool if you turn on the lights on the power strip behind it.

Thanks to Cathy Caddy for both the idea and the execution.

The picture is also by Cathy. Click on it-- it is HUGE.

It begins with an account of the life and achievements of our late Member (and Past President, 1953-4) E. Griffith ("Griff") Dodson Jr., who passed away in May of 2001 and uses his life as a template for what the Senior Lawyers Conference, established in June of 2001, has accomplished. Once again, a Roanoke Bar Association Lawyer leads the way.
