Past Presidents

Covid-19 precluded our gathering in 2020, but the magic of Zoom allowed for the Past Presidents to gather in May of 2021.  This was a very well attended event, but unfortunately we waited until the end of the meeting to take our annual picture.  Names included with pictures below of some of those in attendance.

Many of the Past Presidents were at the DAC on June 7, 2007, to help us celebrate our 50th year of service to the Bench and Bar.
