                       HONORING HAROLD SHOWALTER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ROB PORTMAN

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 3, 1997

  Mr. PORTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to acknowledge the outstanding 
service of Harold Showalter, who is retiring after 41 years of service 
to Fayetteville-Perry Local Schools. During his remarkable career, he 
has been a music-drama teacher, English teacher, librarian, high school 
principal, director of District Media/Computer, and director of 
District Library/Media.
  Among his numerous awards and honors, Mr. Showalter is the recipient 
of the 1996 Governor's Award for Innovation and the 1996 SOITA 
Technology Leadership Award. But perhaps the most fitting recognition 
he has received is the establishment of a scholarship fund in his honor 
by the faculty and administration of the Fayetteville-Perry Local 
School District.
  His professionalism and expertise will long be remembered, and he 
will be greatly missed by students, faculty and administrators. I join 
the Fayetteville community in wishing Harold and his wife, Mary Rae, a 
long and enjoyable retirement.
