A man before his time... Judge Swick says" Walk and keep healthy". Judge Zwick has followed his prescription for more years than he can remember. Every morning he walks to work. Frequently he walks to lunch and back in time for afternoon court. Then in the evening he walks home again. There is also time to think. source: Daily Oklahoman, The ~ Oklahoma City, Oklahoma ~ July 05, 1925, page 16
