This week UC Davis School of Law alum Dana Cruz '16 was promoted to  captain in the California State Guard. I was honored to be invited by Dana to his promotion ceremony at the California Supreme Court courtroom in Sacramento. It was a joyous occasion in the magnificent Supreme Court courtroom, which Justice Shama Mesiwala '98 (who was in attendance) graciously arranged. California Senator Tom Umberg, Chair of the Senate Standing Judiciary Committee and retired U.S. Army Colonel, administered the oath. 

Dana made King Hall proud!  Besides attending UC Davis School of Law, he participated in the King Hall Outreach Program. 

I also ran across a wonderful Johnny Cash photo exhibit in the courthouse building, which is worth visiting!
