   A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO RON LEHMAN ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PAUL E. GILLMOR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 30, 1998

  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay special tribute to an 
outstanding individual from Ohio's Fifth Congressional District, Mr. 
Ron Lehman.
  Today, Thursday, April 30, 1998, Mr. Lehman will retire from his 
position as bailiff for the Sandusky County Court of Common Pleas in 
Fremont, OH. Ron, a highly regarded and distinguished law enforcement 
officer, will be retiring after 30 years of exemplary community service 
to the citizens of Sandusky County.
  Thirty years ago, Ron began his career in law enforcement as a Police 
Officer for the City of Fremont. He later worked as a Deputy with the 
Sandusky County Sheriff's Department. In 1976, Ron began working as the 
bailiff for the Honorable Harry Sargeant at the Municipal Court. Three 
years later, in 1979, Ron continued his service with Judge Sargeant 
becoming the bailiff for the Court of Common Pleas, where he has served 
for the past 22 years.
  Ron's dedication to law enforcement and to Judge Sargeant and the 
Court is surpassed only by his unwavering commitment to his family and 
his friends. To all those who know him, Ron is a wonderful person and a 
caring and loving husband.
  They say that America works because of the unselfish acts of her 
citizens. No where is that more evident than with the actions and 
contributions that Ron Lehman has given to his family, his profession, 
and his community.
  Mr. Speaker, I would urge my colleagues to stand and join me in 
paying special tribute to Ron Lehman on the occasion of his retirement, 
and in wishing him the very best in the future.
