Hamilton County Superior Court No. 6 Judge Gail Bardach, who will retire from the bench on July 1, was surprised during her Friday afternoon retirement party with a Sagamore of the Wabash Award from Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch.

Hamilton County Republican Party Chair Mario Massillamany nominated Judge Bardach for the award. Today’s ceremony brought well over 100 of the judge’s friends, colleagues, and well-wishers to the Government and Judicial Center in Noblesville to congratulate her on a life of dedicated public service to her community and its people.

Judge,  your excellence in your faithful work for Hamilton County clearly has not gone unnoticed. Best of luck in your retirement. The people of Hamilton County look forward to what you’ll do next.
