Types Of Bankruptcy

Every year, the members of the Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys Association recognizes an attorney, trustee, or judge for their exemplary efforts affecting consumer debtors. The award presented is the Calvin Ashland Award.    This year’s honor was awarded to Chapter 13 Trustee of the year, Kathy A. Dockery.

Aside from the incredible honors, I noted the scuttle but about bow ties being appropriate for this occasion.  So, I took on creating my own award for this year; “Bow Ties: Who Wore It Best.” This year’s semifinalists are pictured throughout.  These gentlemen take their ties very seriously.  Most notably was the confidence brought to the evening by the Honorable Judge Robles as he displayed the traditional, “tie-to-tie,” style of bow tie.  Above, we feature an icon among bankruptcy attorneys, Mr. Dennis McGoldrick with his, “Wild,” print yellow tie.

Everywhere I turned, my colleagues all appeared jovial and celebratory; proudly displaying their ties in good faith.  Featured to the left are current CDCBAA President, Pat Green showing our past President, Jim King last year’s bow tie.  These gentlemen display the “clip-on” version of bow tie.

Brazen color, bold patterns and polka dots were among this year’s contenders.  Speaking of brazen, to the right, you will see Hale Andrew Antico with his tilted passionate red bow tie as he explains to anyone that will listen, why red is the best color for bow ties.  Below and to the left is Jason Wallach sporting the light yellow, polka dot bow tie.  His smile proves that wearing a bow tie makes you happy.

All in all, it was a dazzling display of silk and what ever other fabric these accessories are weaved from.  This was an enjoyable evening to honor our colleagues for their incredible contributions to the thankless and tireless work in the field of bankruptcy law.  Please vote by comment and remember to have your bow tie photographed at next year’s event for your entry into this underground category!
