Fort Worth Star
"I'm just a turtle on a fence post," declared Roland Johnson '73, BSEd '76, JD '79, about his recent selection as president-elect of the State Bar of Texas. "When you see a turtle on a fence post you say, 'That's crazy! How did that happen?' And the reason it's crazy is because it's been fifty years since someone from Fort Worth won." Johnson is a managing shareholder with the Fort Worth firm of Harris, Finley, & Bogle, PC. He will take over as president of the State Bar next June.
