O a man of. most remarkable qualities of mind and heart, whose great success in r life has been based upon sound morals and high principles, and a Chief Executive of Ohio who gave to the Commonwealth a safe, sane and honorable administration of its affairs, to Hon. Myron T. Herrick this volume is most respect­ fully dedicated. J. K. M. INTRODUCTORY.

    ORAL HISTORY OF JUDGE JAMES ROBERTSON This interview is being conducted on behalf of the Oral History Project of The Historical Society of the District of Columbia Circuit. The interviewer is Ann Allen, and the interviewee is James Robertson. The interview took place at the Federal Courthouse on November 6, 2003. This is the first interview. MS. ALLEN: So let me just start with a general question about where you were born and grew up and your family. MR. ROBERTSON: I was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1938 as one of twins. My parents were a little older than most parents. My father was born in 1891 and my mother in 1902. My sister and I were their second and third children, the last of their three children. My father, at the time I was born, worked for the Cleveland Trust Bank in Cleveland. I am not exactly sure what the story is, but after some years he was on the outs with the president of the bank, George Gund, who went on become a very wealthy Clevelander. My father left the Cleveland Trust Bank and joined, what I think we would call today, an investment banking firm called Otis & Company in Cleveland, which got into some trouble with the SEC. My father saw that coming and got out because he had nothing to do with the SEC problems. He tried to continue working as an independent financial consultant. All of this occurred over a period of, I don’t know, five, six, seven years, when we lived first in Cleveland and then in the little college town of Oberlin, Ohio.
