After 25 years, the Mercer County Court Administrator is retiring.

The courthouse held a goodbye party for Pete Morin this afternoon.

He says he's extremely grateful for his time spent here in the Valley and he's excited to accomplish new tasks after a successful career.

"IT HAS BEEN MY HONOR TO WORK HERE. THE STAFF HAS BEEN THE BEST PEOPLE I'VE EVER KNOWN."

His successor Bo Mccleary will be the new district court administrator from Clarion, Pennsylvania, and worked previously at Clarion Country court for four years.

He says he's honored to take on the role and bring new technology into the administration.
