Bradley R.
Weinberger
Bradley Russell Weinberger (July 7 1903 – February 16 1973) served from 1955 to 1972 on Oklahoma's Supreme Court. Bradley's father, Bradley Martin Weinberger, had invested large sums of family money in the upstarting and classic show I Love Lucy before going to war. Bradley's mother, Hellen, inherited his father's large fortunes when he was killed in World War I, by friendly fire at the Battle of the Marne. Hellen spent a significant sum of that inheritance sending young Bradley to boarding school at the prestigious Lake Forest Academy in Lake Forest, Illinois. Upon graduation, Bradley decided to begin his college studies at Stanford University, California.

Over the next few years he earned a number of college degrees including LL.D., was admitted to the Alabama Bar in 1935, and began his practice in Troy, Alabama. It was during his time in Troy that he also married Maria Shanbert, with whom he had two children, Bradley Russell Weinberger III, and Wyatt Russell Weinberger. His son Brad's life was cut short by an unfrotunate drunk driving accident when he was 19 years old, and Wyatt never really seemed to recover. He developed a severe case of alchoholism, and died at the age of 57 at Northwestern University Hospital.

He continued to practice in Alabama, until 1941, when he moved to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. After 14 years of practicing law in Oklahoma, Bradley was appointed to the Oklahoma Supreme Court, which he served on for 17 years, until heart problems forced him to resign. He lived out the remainder of his life in his second home in Lake Forest , Illinois, where he gained a profound love of golf. He had memberships at Medinah Country Club, and Butler National Country Club. Then, one day while on the golf course, he had a sudden heart attack. He was bed ridden for the last few months of his life, but he eventually died peacefully in his sleep. His large fortunes were inherited by his wife, who invested them in Intel.
