    HONORING CABARRUS COUNTY LIBERTY BELL AWARD RECIPIENT TOM GRADY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 13, 2022

  Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Tom Grady on 
receiving the Cabarrus County Bar Association Liberty Bell Award.
  A native of Cabarrus County, Mr. Grady graduated from Wake Forest 
University School of Law before returning home to begin practicing law 
with Williams, Willeford, and Boger in 1966. He continued work for this 
firm and its successors for fifty-five years before retiring in 2020.
  Mr. Grady quickly became well-known for his skill and success as a 
motorsports attorney. He provided exceptional legal services to many 
associated with NASCAR, and his leadership proved paramount in the 
1990s and early 2000s when the motorsports industry underwent a 
significant period of advancement and growth. On account of his 
excellence as a legal professional and mentor, Mr. Grady had the honor 
of serving as the President of the Cabarrus County Bar Association and 
was inducted into the North Carolina Bar Association Hall of Fame.
  The Liberty Bell Award is presented by the local bar to an individual 
who exhibits exemplary or distinguished accomplishments and 
contributions to the legal profession. Over the course of his career 
and service to Cabarrus County, Mr. Grady provided a strong and 
consistent source of legal knowledge to support and assist his clients 
and community. I know I speak for our entire community in wishing him 
and his family continued success and happiness going forward.
  Madam Speaker, please join me today in congratulating Mr. Tom Grady 
as the Cabarrus County Bar Association Liberty Bell Award recipient and 
wish him well as he continues to enjoy retirement.

                          ____________________
