Justice Stanley Reed #77 (1884-1980)
Reed came from Kentucky and his forefathers were in America early on. His father was a doctor. It is without doubt that Justice Reed was the last man to be elevated to the Supreme Court without having a law degree. (many think he did better than many who served with law degree. Once the saddle becomes a comfort the horse is easier to ride.) Reed was married to Winifred who mothered for him two sons. They both became graduated lawyers. Reed autographs a chambers card.
