Stewart Recognized as Outstanding Leader

Carl E. Stewart, 1967 graduate of BTW, was recently recognized by The Times as one of 10 "community members who are leading the way." Stewart, who serves as a Judge for the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals is also a graduate of Dillard University and Loyola University School of Law.

According to the published profile, Judge Steward is married to Jo Ann Southall Stewart, and they have three children, Carl Jr., Karella and Kyle; three grandchildren.

"The kinds of struggles people had, not necessarily criminally, were things that were better if they had a lawyer-legal representation," Stewart said. "My father always encouraged me and my two brothers to reach out and help other people in our climb upward. We have a family ethos of launching out and trying to achieve in a profession that gives us an opportunity to give back to the community.

Stewart is a much sought after speaker in this community. This writer has been personally moved by his motivational commentary. He displays a rare blend of raw intellect, compassion and wisdom.

Judge Stewart is a board member of the Norwela Council Boy Scouts of America. And according to The Times report, "considers the work he has done with the Boy Scouts to be one of his proudest accomplishments."

The BTW Alumni Foundation is proud to join this community in congratulating Judge Stewart for his most recent honor. It is a well deserved.

Happy Thanksgiving to the BTW Family

The BTW Alumni Foundation takes this means of wishing you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving. We especially salute and acknowledge those lions who live out of town and are home for the holiday. We know you will treasure not only time with the family but being in Shreveport one more time.

Best wishes of course to Dr. Curley White and the entire BTW learning community.

Have a great turkey day!
