The late Judge David Klim '74 is among seven Nottingham High School alumni who will be honored at the second annual "Wall of Fame" induction ceremony on October 13, 2007, at Drumlins Country Club in Syracuse.

Klim, who earned his St. Lawrence degree in government and his law degree from Syracuse University, was adjunct law professor at Onondaga Community College and special prosecutor with the Onondaga County District Attorney's Office. A 1970 graduate of Nottingham, Klim was twice elected to 10-year terms as Onondaga County Family Court Judge. He was a member of the Onondaga County Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association, the National Disabled Bar Association, the Central New York Women's Bar Association and the American Bar association. Klim was also a board member of the Huntington Family Centers, the Association for Retarded Citizens, the Volunteer Center and Legal Services of CNY, as well as other organizations. Known for his calming influence on young children while they were in his court as Family Court Judge, he was also known for his wit and humor, and was a proud winner of the "Men Who Cook" award (to benefit the Mental Health Association of Onondaga County). At St. Lawrence, Klim participated in the student government organization, Thelomathesian Society, and was a member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. He died in 2006.
