1973

Summertime, and the living is easy....Remember the news reports about Alabama Chief Justice Ron Moore, ousted over the Ten Commandments monument? Tom Parker, who wore several hats in the state judicial system while Moore was in office and who was fired from all of them when Moore was removed, is seeking a seat on the Alabama Supreme Court. Tom is a former assistant state attorney general and has handled 30 capital cases and more than 350 criminal appeals.

Alumni trustee candidate brochure readers undoubtedly noticed the substantial involvement of '73s: chair Tyrone Byrd and nominating committee members Dan Hall, Bob Haynes and Rick Routhier. T-Byrd notes: "The long, arduous task of the slate selection process took place between February and December 2003, and included monthly face-to-face meetings between July and October. My experience on the NOMCOM has been very positive and rewarding. It has been a pleasure to meet and work with a dedicated and diverse group of outstanding alumni as NOMCOM members as well as those alumni who provided nominations input and counsel. The broad array of the screened candidates were very accomplished individuals, making the actual slate selection a very challenging process. In the final analysis, we, the NOMCOM members, humbly recognize the valuable contributions that we have made to the Colleges current and future stewardship." Thanks to all four for their hard work.
