july/august 2007 Joseph A Martinez Another Successful Rusty Duncan! Special thanks to Randy Wilson, Keith Hampton, Darlina Crowder and Tom Pappas, course directors for this year’s 21st Annual Rusty Duncan Advanced Criminal Law Course. Thanks to their efforts based on the evaluations submitted by attendees, we had a very successful advanced course. Attendees appreciated the two breakout session for new lawyers and federal law practitioners. Clifton “Scrappy” Holmes and Tim Evans were inducted into the TCDLA Hall of Fame. Craig Washington from Houston was awarded the Percy Foreman Lawyer of the Year Award. The Annual membership party recognized all the attending octogenarians who included: Judge Frank Maloney, Weldon Holcomb, Richard “Racehorse” Haynes, Robert Barrera, Edward McFarland and Travis Alley. These men have borne the fight to ensure justice in Texas. Their extraordinary lives are an inspiration for all who seek justice. Thanks to all participants and their families who came this year. We hope to see you again next year. We had a total of 803 persons in attendence. Thanks to all of the speakers and TCDLA staff for their work on this year’s event. Thanks to Christi and Gerry Goldstein for opening their home for the annual pachanga. This yearly get-together allowed all participants and their families to come together and enjoy each other’s company. We encourage all participants to send in any comments on this year’s Rusty and how to improve next year’s 21st Annual Rusty Duncan Advanced Criminal Law Course. Please send them to jmartinez@tcdla.com Thanks to Stan Schneider who ensured we have records of the lives of our octogenarians. Stan and others conducted interviews with each of the octogenarians, which were videotaped for posterity. Copies of the tapes are going to each octogenarian and a copy will stay with TCDLA. In the months to come as TCDLA has its quarterly board meetings, we will invite all current Hall of Fame members to sit down and be interviewed and videotaped. We will show the tapes at future TCDLA seminars. Craig Jett, 36th TCDLA President, has selected E. Gerry Morris as course director for next year’s 21st Annual Rusty Duncan Advanced Criminal Law Course. Gerry has already started planning for the event. :: executive director’s perspective We are looking for any and all information on the first Advanced Criminal Law Short Course held in Fort Worth at the Worthington Hotel in June 1988.
