Fred Bruner likes to say that he's "the luckiest man alive" but
perhaps he's proof that, with a positive attitude, you can make
your own luck. The son of a strict Baptist minister, Bruner ran
away in his teens in the midst of the Great Depression. He lived on
the streets and "rode the rails" cross country, hopping rides on
freight trains with "hobos" and other folks hit hard by the
economic times. Bruner eventually came home and reluctantly went to
Oklahoma Military Academy. He went on to graduate from Baylor
University and then SMU Law School. Although he was blind in one
eye from a childhood accident, Bruner enlisted in the Signal Corps,
and served his country during World War II. After the war, Fred met
the love of his life, Joy Jean Groves. Together they created a
wonderful life consisting of a huge family and a wide array of
friends. Fred, and his brilliant legal career, has always been at
the center of it all. Bruner's life is full of wonderful stories,
epic characters, and frequent brushes with American history. As one
of the top criminal defense lawyers in Dallas, Fred Bruner's
clients ranged from reckless drivers all the way to high profile
murderers, including the infamous Jack Ruby. To Fred Bruner work
was never just work - there were always new people to meet and new
people who needed help. Fred still lives in his Highland Park home
where, despite diminishing health, he wakes up each morning armed
with the two things that have served him best in his life-a sunny
disposition and his preacher's son's ability to tell a great story.
