Three Generations of Legal Excellence
"The Washington State Bar News last summer published an article and photo of me and my two Beta Delta brothers, William V. Kelley '26 and John E. Kelley '34, as three attorneys still in practice in the state."
— Thomas D. Kelley '31 (11770 NE Yeomalt Point Dr., Bainbridge Island, WA 98110)
