David A.
Bell, Clerk of the Arlington County Circuit Court arrived for
his new job as a deputy
clerk under the late clerk,
Bruce Green, on February
1, 1971 and didn’t leave
the clerk’s office until December 2007, thirty-six
years later.
When he started
work there were four deputy clerks, two older gentlemen, Mr.
Bell and another young lawyer named
Henry Hudson.
During the intervening 37 years, David
got married, raised three
kids was elected clerk of
the court four times.
His tenure as clerk was celebrated at this retirement banquet on November 30, 2007
where hundreds
of people were in
attendance, including that other
young deputy
clerk, Henry E.
Hudson ( who is
now a federal
judge of the U.
S.
District Court, for the
Eastern District of VA , former U.
S Attorney and former head of the U.
S.
Marshall Service).
The dinner was held at the
Westin Arlington Gateway Hotel and
included many distinguished speakers
and presentations
of gifts and a photographic slide
show of David’s
life prepared by his
daughter, Jennifer.
David Bell
was born and
raised in Pennsylvania and graduated from his beloved Penn State
University in 1970.
After graduation
he worked as an
intern for congressman Joe
Vigorito of Pennsylvania and was urged
by his future father-in-law to apply for
an open job in the Arlington County
clerk’s office.
As Mr.
Bell remembers, Mr.
Green asked
him if he had any problem
moving boxes and files, to
which David responded,
“Well two summers ago I had
worked at a steel mill.
Does
that answer your question?”
He was hired, and as they say,
the rest is history.
For more about David you
should see the interview he gave the
Journal which was published in two
parts- the first part appears in the last
