CONGRATULATIONS, DANA!
I extend my hearty congratulations to Mrs. Dana Tippin Cutler, Esq., on becoming the first African American female to become President of the Missouri Bar, following several years behind, Charles Harris, Esq. and Reuben Shelton, Esq., of Kansas City, and St. Louis, respectively, black males, into that esteemed office.
I have known Dana since she was a little girl, through her father, the redoubtable James W. Tippin, Esq., a legal stalwart in his own right, who has practiced law in Kansas City, Missouri, since the early 1970's, in tax, and, later in personal injury defense with Dana, and her husband, Keith Cutler, Esq., who met in college, in Atlanta, where she graduated Spelman, and he graduated Morehouse. Outstanding people and lawyers!
