“What an incredible game! Never had a doubt! It’s great to be a Florida Gator!” —Tony Fineman (JD 94) in Phoenix WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS in Atlanta UF Law alumni celebrated all over the world in January and again in April when the Gators took on Ohio State to bring home both a national football AND basketball championship. Many in the Gator Nation also traveled to the games—one in Phoenix and one in Atlanta—to support their teams. What a year. Fred Mills (JD 84) 14 U F L A W

It was really a special time for all of us. Go Gators!” —Susan Bexley (JD 99) Lawyers on the GRIDIRON It seems everyone has Gator fever these days, but there was plenty of gridiron greatness taking place back in the mid-1960s to early 1970s when four Jacksonville UF Law graduates played under famed UF Head Coach Ray Graves. The four attorneys—as featured in the cover story in Jacksonville Lawyer Magazine last fall—are (from left) David Peek (JD 78) of Peek, Cobb & Edwards, Bill Dorsey (JD 73), Gene Peek (JD 72) of Peek, Cobb & Edwards; and Fred Catfish Abbott (JD 78) of Abbott & Wiesenfeld. During that timeframe Steve Spurrier won the Heisman, Larry Smith made the longest run in Orange Bowl history, and John Reeves broke the NCAA record for total passing yards. The four remain close friends today and are founding members of the Silver 60s Association, an organization made up of former Gator players who played under Graves—UF’s winningest football coach, second only to his own former player, Steve Spurrier— between 1960 and 1969. Abbott, who played at UF from 1968 through 1972, went on to play professionally for the Minnesota Vikings, Miami Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles.
