Ind. Courts - Former Grant Circuit Court Judge Tom Hunt honored

The Marion Chronicle Tribune reports:

Former Grant Circuit Court Judge Tom Hunt received the Indiana governor's highest award, the Sagamore of the Wabash, Friday at the luncheon.

State Rep. Tim Harris, who presented the award to Hunt, said letters written in support of the former judge mentioned his long legal work and his time spent on community organizations.

What stuck out the most, though, was Hunt's mentoring of young attorneys who came through his court.

"I'm very humbled and overwhelmed by this," said Hunt, who did not know ahead of time that he would receive the award. "I'm just at a loss for words."

Hunt retired from the circuit court at the end of 2006.
