                          HON. PAUL E. GILLMOR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 17, 1995

  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to CWO Dennis 
St. Clair, a dedicated public servant who will soon retire from the 
Ohio Army National Guard after over 41 years of distinguished service.
  Dennis St. Clair began his service at the Camp Perry Training Site, 
located near Port Clinton, OH, on July 22, 1954. Since that time, CWO 
St. Clair has distinguished himself as a man of dedication, innovation, 
and personal accomplishment. During his tenure, CWO St. Clair's expert 
management was instrumental in a comprehensive building program which 
included the construction of four new barracks, a new beach tower, a 
new troop medical clinic, new officers quarters and new motel units.
  As the full-time Operation and Plans officer for the Camp Perry 
Training Site, CWO St. Clair developed one of the most comprehensive 
range safety programs in the country. His legacy is an outstanding 
range safety record at Camp Perry.
  Mr. Speaker, Dennis St. Clair is a remarkable individual whose 41 
years personal competence, unwavering commitment and selfless sacrifice 
is a model for public servants. I ask my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating him for his service to the U.S. Army, the Ohio Army 
National Guard, and to the people of the State of Ohio.
  As he begins his retirement, may he and his family fully enjoy the 
benefits of the freedom he has so ably defended for over four decades 
as a member of the Armed Forces of the United States.
