Brothers Graduate Together From Law School
BY JULIA JACKSON
Brothers Reed and Jonathan Blair received their Juris Doctorate degrees last Saturday as graduates of Stetson Law School. The young men followed in the footsteps of their parents – by getting juris doctorate degrees (mother), and joining the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity (fa- ther).
They are the sons of proud parents, Marlow and Atty. Lynda Blair. Atty. Blair was in the first class of graduates at the FAMU College of Law. She cur- rently works for an international law firm, Kilpatrick Townsend Law Firm.
Jonathan received his undergradu- ate degree from FAMU, while Reed re- ceived his undergraduate degree from Ivy League Brown University. The brothers received their early education from St. Peter Claver Catholic School and King High School.
As youngsters they were also actively involved in Jack and Jill of America. The family attends Allen Temple AME Church.
