Gray.
On Friday, December 13, 1996,
nationally renowned attorney Willie
Gary was the guest of honor at a re
ception held by the Fayetteville Bar
and Bench Association.
The reception, which was held
at the Radisson Hotel, was attended
by many of Fayetteville’s most
prominent citizens. Mayor Dawkins
and his wife were among those
present to honor Willie Gary. Also
in attendance were Fayetteville State
Chancellor Dr. Willis McLeod,
North Carolina State Representative
Dr. C.R. Edwards, and District Court
Judge ' Particia
Timmons. A number of
local attorneys were
present as well.
Attorney Gary, who
was in Fayetteville to
deliver the Fayetteville
State University Fall
Commencement Ad
dress, is arguably the
nation’s best and most
successful personal in
jury lawyers. He is a
graduate of both Shaw University and
North Carolina Cen-
tral University’s Law
School.
Willie Gary’s com
mencement address
was revealing to any
one who has faced and
overcome extreme ad
versity and inspiring
to anyone preparing to
begin their journey in
life. He sincerely yet
emphatetically stated
that through determi
nation, dedication, and
faith, anything was
possible.
Gary, who at one
point in his life liter
ally went to school
barefoot, told the 314 graduates
and nearly 3,000 attendees in
the Felton J. Capel Arena to
“...stay strong, no matter how
tough the times are.” Gary re
minded the graduates to “never
forget where they came from”
and to “always give back.”
“The sky is the limit,” Gary
said. “If you are determined,
if you are dedicated, and if you
have faith in God, you can
make it happen.”

why, and ways that helped
to make Gary one of the
most successful lawyers in
America (story on page 9)
