Over the last ten years 950 Oklahoma lawyers have become OBF Fellows, most of whom were recruited to the program by OBF Trustees. Excluding OBF officers and past presidents, one name stands out in recruitment efforts, and that name is Brett Cable, who has personally recruited over 50 new Fellows to the program.

Brett Cable is very modest, but undeniably he has had a profound effect on the young lawyers group. Brett has sent letters, written YLD articles in the Bar Journal and spoken on behalf of the OBF at various YLD functions and events. Brett will tell you that he has not done much, but what he is doing works and he serves as an example for all of us.
