interviewed with Larry King and Bill Moyers and appeared on "Good Morning
America," the "Today Show," CBS's "60 Minutes" and "Dateline NBC."  He has
written pieces for both Time and Newsweek.  Profiles of Bud have appeared in
numerous magazines including Guideposts and Parade.


The Lifetime Abolitionist award will be presented to Attorney Mark Barrett.
Mr. Barrett was the attorney for Ron Williamson who was ultimately
exonerated along with Dennis Fritz of the murder of Debra Sue Cater in Ada,
Oklahoma in 1982.  Mr. Barrett also represented Greg Wilhoit who was
exonerated of murder and spared the death penalty when the State's "bite
mark" experts' testimony was exposed as false.

music entertainment.  Tickets are $25.00 per person and $10.00 for students.
  *Please contact Jim Rowan or Tina McLemore at 239-2454 for reservations.*
