If you see South Dakota Supreme Court Justice Richard W. Sabers before Friday, slap him on the back, gently, of course.

Sabers is retiring, and a reception in his honor will be held Friday night at the Westward Ho Country Club in Sioux Falls.

Sabers has been on the high court for 22 years. He turned 70 in February, which is the mandatory retirement age for justices. He will be automatically retired on January 6th.

Gov. Mike Rounds is considering several applicants as a successor. The job pays $118,000 a year.
