Geer, Dell Bowen, Phillip Sheffield, Lowrey Stone, Tracy Moulton and current Judges Joe Bishop and Ronnie Joe Lane. He was named Georgia's District Attorney of the Year in 2003. "I take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to the citizens, for the honor you have given me to be your District Attorney," Ferguson stated.
