Community Leader Robert Bridges Presented with Oral History at 68th Class Reunion |
Robert Bridges' oral history was the 14th in the Regional Oral History Office's series, "University of California, Source of Community Leaders," funded by the Class of 1931 Endowment. Mr. Bridges was an ideal interviewee for this series documenting illustrious Cal alumni. With a BA (1930) and JD (1933) from UC Berkeley, he was hired by Paul Marrin and Max Thelen, Sr., to work in their San Francisco law firm. He began advising members of the Six Companies Group (heavy construction companies) on tax matters in the thirties. When that group broke up, Mr. Bridges advised individual construction firms, most notably Bechtel, and became a partner in the law firm.
In addition to his legal career, Robert Bridges has served on many boards of directors and donated time and funds to the University of California in many capacities. He continues to serve as adviser to the Center for Latin American Studies on the Berkeley campus, for which the Class of 1930 endowed a chair as their fiftieth anniversary gift.
The presentation was made by Ann Flinn, chair of the Friends of The Bancroft Library, who spoke about Bob Bridges' generous service to the university. She introduced Lois Swabel, president of the Class of 1931; Germaine LaBerge, the interviewer; and Ann Lage, principal editor at ROHO. Chancellor Robert Berdahl and the Cal Straw Hat Band participated in the reunion celebration.
