                           Senator Gavarone
                       A RESOLUTION
            Honoring Robison, Curphey O’Connell on its One Hundred
              Fiftieth Anniversary.
     WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 135th General Assembly     1
of Ohio are pleased to pay tribute to Robison, Curphey & O’Connell on     2
the auspicious occasion of its One Hundred Fiftieth Anniversary; and      3
     WHEREAS, It is fitting that Robison, Curphey & O’Connell be          4
recognized for a century and a half of commitment to its clients          5
throughout Toledo and the surrounding communities, including Findlay      6
and Waterville. Formed in 1874 by Clarence Brown and Frederick Geddes,    7
the office handled the legal interests of the area’s early railroad       8
companies that connected Toledo to the rest of the nation during the      9
Industrial Revolution, and additionally, it provided stalwart             10
representation to the founder of the automatic bottle-making machine,     11
Michael Owens, and glass magnate, Edmund Drummond Libbey. Today, RCO      12
Law continues to be held in great reverence, and it has built upon its    13
tradition of remarkable professional services; and                        14
     WHEREAS, The conscientious people who have been a part of Robison,   15
Curphey & O’Connell can be proud of their association with this           16
impressive practice, for they have established a model of excellence      17
rooted in clear objectives and firm resolve. Indeed, the firm’s           18
diligent partners, attorneys, and legal staff have dedicated              19
themselves to establishing lasting relationships across Ohio and          20
beyond, and their accomplishments have been outstanding; and              21
     WHEREAS, Robison, Curphey & O’Connell has provided essential         22
representation to many Ohioans and Ohio businesses, and its devotion      23
to integrity has earned it distinction and notoriety. We praise the       24
firm on this important milestone and look with optimism to a future       25
that continues to thrive as a result of its estimable legal work;         26
S. R. No. 502                                                     Page 2

     RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 135th General     28
Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, we applaud Robison,         29
Curphey & O’Connell on one hundred and fifty years of counsel to the       30
Toledo community and salute it as a fine Ohio endeavor; and be it          31
further                                                                    32
