“Ever since I was a little
girl, I’ve wanted to change the world — to help people and make
a difference,”
|
|
| In 1982, after working as a nurse
for six years while attending evening classes at South Texas College of
Law, Milazzo combined her passions by creating the first national certification
program for legal nurse consultants. The Vickie Milazzo Institute has grown
to a $10.5 million company with 24 employees, and has garnered numerous
“best small business” awards. Full

the life-like sculpture of Mr. Penick, she said ‘Well, hello honey,’...That
was the highest compliment." |

Austin attorney Don Davis
has come full circle. He enrolled as an art major at Abilene Christian College
in 1958 but says he was the “worst artist there” and switched
majors.
Today, Davis’ art — specifically, his bronze sculptures —
is presented to the winners at golf tournaments, and displayed at the entrance
to the Austin Children’s Hospital and at the Austin Country Club. Full

| "It’s a unique opportunity that
was never going to come to me again even if I lived to be 150." |

“Texas Justice,” the
number one new daytime television show in its first season, just began its
second season — and Judge Larry Joe couldn’t be happier.
“Right from the get-go, we led the pack of rookie daytime TV shows,”
said Larry Joe Doherty, a senior partner in the firm of
Doherty and Wagner in Houston, of “Texas Justice,” which first
hit the airwaves in September 2001. “I’ve been told that 90
percent of all television shows don’t even have a second season.” Full

and its emphasis on balance that has always been very helpful for me." |

Robert H. Etnyre, Jr., a partner in Royston, Rayzor,
Vickery & Williams, L.L.P. in Houston, is an expert in immigration law,
but that is not his "day job."
“No one has exhibited more commitment, compassion, and expertise in
representing indigent immigrants,” said Anne Amis of the Associated
Catholic Charities Texas Center for Immigrant Legal Assistance (TCILA).
She nominated Etnyre for the 2002 Frank J. Scurlock Award, which he received
in June and which honors an individual attorney for outstanding pro bono
legal services for indigent Texans. He was also nominated by three other
organizations, for which he voluntarily represents low income immigrants. Full
