I remember the day very well when Judge Bell gave that commencement speech at Mercer Law School because that day his grandson Griffin, III graduated from Mercer Law School, and my son Bo graduated from Mercer that same day. I was privileged not only to be there to see my son graduate from law school but also to share the dais with Judge Bell and to introduce Judge Bell to make that commencement address. He was a great American. He was a great Georgian. He was a terrific lawyer with unparalleled credentials, unparalleled integrity, and someone who is going to be missed by our State and by our country.
