Today, many family and friends, including law clerks, celebrated the dedication of the Jean S. Breitenstein Classroom in the Wolf Law Building and the completion of the campaign to raise $150,000 to name a space in his honor. Judge Breitenstein ('24) served as assistant state attorney general, U.S. District Court Judge; U.S. Court of Appeals Judge for the 10th Circuit nominated by President Eisenhower (senior status in 1970); President of Colorado Bar Association; and Army World War I veteran. Many Colorado Law alumni served as the Judge's law clerks and raised most of the funds for the space. Principal in the effort were James McCotter ('69), Pete Wall (’63), Sandy MacDougall (’62), Howard Fine, and Stephen Klein. Other attendees included the Judge's son Peter Breitenstein, daughter Eleanore Wilfley, Eleanore's sons Michael ('69) and John, Vicki Mandell-King (’75), William Nelson, Lynn Guissinger (’83), Gary Greer (’64), Wesley Howard, and Art Biddle (’68).
