Picture This: DBA Happenings

Achieving a Milestone — Seniors Spring Banquet

Song, dance, food and fun filled the University Club, May 14, when the DBA and the Seniors Spring Banquet honored 19 attorneys who were admitted to the Bar in 1959. Jim Bayer, chair of the Seniors Committee, passed the torch to Don McMichael, who officially assumed chair duties at the event. Bayer was chair for the last six years. Immediate Past President Mark Fogg and Past President Mary Jo Gross emceed the event and recapped the outstanding careers of our honorees. A special thanks to Bob Kapelke’s Burdon of Spoof Comedy Troupe for the entertainment. Honorees in attendance that night (pictured below) included: Edward S. Barlock, David G. Barsotti, Timothy L. Campbell, William T. Diss, Arthur L. Fine, Robert F. Fiori, Edward M. Heppenstall, Robert D. Hill, Kenneth D. Hubbard, Robert L. Johnson, Francis P. King, Robert T. Lego, Donald L. Lozow, E. Gregory Martin, Robert R. Montgomery, Eugene M. Pepper, Donald E. Spiegleman, Hon. Zita Weinshienk and Michael A. Williams.
