Congratulations to Florida's new lawyers
Congratulations to everyone who passed the Florida Bar.
Here’s how lawyers were notified back before there was the Internet. This is my Dad’s notification back in 1958.
A telegram!

Very cool.
"Administration of oath and induction ceremony before Supreme Court [in 16 days from date of telegram] Rules contemplate your personal appearance." Can you imagine? What a different world.

David -- does this mean that your father had to travel to Tallahassee for the induction ceremony?
Yes, I think so. But I never asked him about it…
According to unconfirmed rumors, 5:50 p.m., homing pigeons would simply crap on their heads.
How much did the telegram cost?
Really cool that you still have that.
That is super cool!
Love this.
David, so the Telegram was more or less like a fax or post card?
