DENHAM PLACE: STATE CAPITAL BUILDING DATE OF INTERVIEW: APRIL 18, 2000 A= ALLISON DEFOOR M= JAMES M. DENHAM, (“MIKE”) Transcribed by: Debby Turner M: I am sitting here with the former sheriff of Monroe County, Allison DeFoor, and today is April 18, 2000. Mr. DeFoor, can you tell us a little bit about your background, where you grew up, where you went to school? A: Sure. I think my claims to fame for your purposes would be being one of the few sheriffs to run for statewide office and belonging to a very, very exclusive fraternity of ex- judge sheriffs. There are only, to my knowledge, six of us, at least alive, at this point - me; Bob Butterworth, the current Attorney General; George Bresher who took his place; Bob Floyd who used to be mayor of Miami in, I think in ‘33 and then went on to a pretty interesting and eclectic career; David Strahn who now runs a mediation school out of Orlando and Tom Romberger who now has a very large law firm out of Orlando and Tallahassee. The interesting thing about each of us is the eclecticism that seems to run as a common thread through all of us. I guess anyone who would want to be a judge and a sheriff is probably a pretty eclectic person. I ended up in law enforcement kind of backhandedly. For some reason, when I was in my first year of law school I was in the top 15% of my class.
