neighborhoods hm- Citizen Monday, April 14,1986 — 20 About 60 friends and dignitaries gathered to see lawyer Victor Curtis elevated to position of county court judge during a ceremony April 6 at county court. Performing one of his last duties in Prince George before he leaves to serve as judge of the county court of Vancouver, Judge Stephen Hardinge escorted his successor, Judge Curtis, to his position on the top tier in the court. Judge Frank S. Perry explained that under normal circumstances the new judge would be sworn in during the ceremony, but the swearing in ceremony had been held Mar. 19. “I can assure you that he is a judge and has sworn allegence to the Queen and undertook to carry out his duties to the best of his abilities,” said Judge Perry. In congratulating Judge Curtis on his appointment, Fred Fatt, lawyer and vice-president of the Prince George Bar Association, described him as a “lawyer’s lawyer” and added that his knowledge of the law and his respect for all people would ensure those leaving his court would feel justice had been served. Judge Curtis said he enjoyed practicing law in Prince George for the past 13 years and hoped to serve the county of Cariboo for many years to come. ★ ★ ★ Prince George’s potato king, John Ryser, has done it again.
