Judge Robert De Estein Van Tassel

Robert Van Tassel became the Judge for the Orange County Juvenile Court in 1933 and was very active in the Rotary Club and Salvation Army. 'I am usually at the office for staff conference at 8:30 afterwhich the Court opens. It seems strange to be called 'Judge' and to have attorneys address me 'Your Honor.' I see myself in vision as a spindling barefoot kid, under the maple trees in front of the old log cabin down on the Paine place (in Oxbow).' - letter to his brother William
