                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DAVID E. BONIOR

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 22, 1997

  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to congratulate Mr. Bruce 
Seymore as he retires after thirty-one years of service with the city 
of Port Huron as the director of finance. His colleagues will be 
honoring him with a dinner on June 27, 1997.
  Mr. Seymore began his career with the city of Port Huron in 1966 as 
director of finance. Under his leadership and guidance, for twenty-one 
years, the department received the Certificate for Excellence in 
Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of 
the United States and Canada. The department has received this 
distinction longer than any other unit of government in Michigan.
  Along side his success with the city of Port Huron, Mr. Seymore has 
been an incredible asset to his community. Throughout the years, Mr. 
Seymore has served on the Michigan Waterways Council of Girl Scouts 
Board and as president of Goodwill Industries. His compassion and 
devotion to those in need prompted the board of directors at Goodwill 
to give Mr. Seymore the Scotty Hanton Award in 1979. The Scotty Hanton 
Award is granted yearly to a person who personifies the essence of 
Goodwill. The nominees are picked based on their time of service, time 
investment, personal contributions, and spirit.

and his family all the best.
