Title: Our Fair Ladies
Description: Text of a lecture to the Sphex Club in Lynchburg. Robert C. Wood III's reflective talk for the SPHEX Club, "Our Fair Ladies," delivered on November 1, 2012, traverses his life's significant events, embedding personal and historical narratives to underscore the shaping of personal identity and beliefs. Wood highlights key moments ranging from childhood memories of World War II, performing in an opera, to his experiences in law and as a football referee, leading up to a discussion on the transformative presence of women in the legal profession, particularly on the Supreme Court, symbolized by "Our Fair Ladies" - Justices Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan.
