Interesting question, I am researching whether a judge from another county being placed in Siskiyou is a first? Answer is Yes, but last 3 been from neighboring counties. This is a first to have a “urban” judge placed in a rural county.
Our family goes back to 1931 in Siskiyou County, when my grandparents, Francis and Isabel Hannon homesteaded in Tulelake. My father and two uncles graduated from Tulelake high school and went onto professional careers.
We continue to own and maintain our homestead, and Kendall has a great love and appreciation of Siskiyou County his entire life.
I firmly believe he’ll be an asset to the court.
Sincerely,
John Hannon
PS expanding upon the announcement of his appointment, I would like to point out that Kendall graduated first in his class at Notre Dame law school and was Editor in Chief of the law review.
