man's many accomplishments and contributions to the University of 
Oklahoma and the State of Oklahoma. Mr. Robert Hume Brady was born and 
raised in Seiling, Oklahoma. He was awarded the OU Regents' Alumni 
Award in 1998 for his exceptional dedication and service to the 
University of Oklahoma and served as an honorary chair of the 100th

administration, he joined Travelers Property Casualty Corporation in 
1963 and today serves as regional vice president. In many of the cities 
where his career has taken him, he has made the OU presence stronger. 
He formed the OU Club of New Orleans in 1969, reactivated the OU Club 
of Kansas City in 1985, and organized the OU Club of Charlotte in 1991. 
He served as president of the OU Club of Charlotte for seven years and 
currently is a member of the Board of Directors. He has worked to raise 
funds for scholarship support to potential OU students and to bring new 
energy to the OU Club through recruiting and nominating younger members 
to leadership positions. He continues a long OU family tradition 
established by his great-uncle C. Ross Hume, a member of the first 
graduating class in 1898 and one of the founders of the OU Alumni 
Association in 1899. His grandfather, Dr. R.R. Hume, a member of the 
second graduating class, was instrumental in the selection of OU's 
colors of crimson and cream.
  Robert Brady will retire July 31, 1999, after 37 years with 
Travelers, and he and his wife Betty plan to return to Oklahoma City. 
Bob started with Travelers in 1963 after graduating from the University 
of Oklahoma. Further tours of duty included New Orleans, Home Office, 
Oklahoma City, Kansas City and Charlotte. While in Charlotte, Bob 
helped make Travelers North Carolina's leading Independent Agency 
carrier.
  Respected among his peers for his elegance and character, Bob is a 
colleague, mentor, friend, husband, father and grandfather.
