  • Flournoy was the youngest member of the Assembly in 1960 at age 30.
  • The State Senate adjourned in memory of Flournoy on February 14, 2008. Senator Tom McClintock's remarks included the following; "Hugh Flournoy truly was a remarkable and rare public servant who never lusted for political positions except as a means to a higher end. Though he was disdainful of politics in general and political office in particular, he cared very deeply about this state and its people."
