At 75 years young, Donald Preston has decided to hang up his judicial robes and retire.
The part-time Wolfforth municipal judge has served Wolfforth in a variety of ways since returning to his hometown just over 40 years ago. He was mayor for nine years and a City Council member for 16 years.
“I’ve been the judge for 18 years,” Preston said.
He joked that he is retiring because he is “tired of it.” But in truth, he said, he has enjoyed being the judge, especially when he has been able to work with youths.
