  A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO BLAIR J. NAHM ON HIS APPOINTMENT TO ATTEND THE

                                 ______

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 19, 1998

  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay special tribute to an 
outstanding young man from Ohio's Fifth Congressional District, Blair 
J. Nahm. Blair recently accepted his offer of appointment to attend the 
United States Military Academy at West Point, New York.
  The Nahm family has a long tradition with West Point, as Blair's 
older brother, Reid, is currently a Cadet Third Class. As Blair will 
soon be graduating from Tiffin Columbian High School, he, too, will be 
embarking on what figures to be one of the most educational and 
challenging opportunities of his life.
  While attending Columbian High School, Blair excelled academically by 
attaining a 3.735 grade point average, placing him in the top ten 
percent of his class. Blair's academic excellence was extended through 
his involvement in the National Honor Society. He also participated in 
the Ohio Test of Scholastic Achievement, where he placed second in the 
district in pre-calculus.
  Blair is also a fine student-athlete, and has distinguished himself 
on the fields of competition. He was a key member of the Varsity 
Football Team and Varsity Wrestling Team. In fact, during his junior 
year of wrestling, Blair received the Wrestling Iron Man Award for his 
accomplishments.
  Mr. Speaker, I am confident that Blair will be very successful at 
West Point and in all of his future endeavors. I would urge my 
colleagues to stand and join me in paying tribute to Blair J. Nahm, and 
in wishing him well as he prepares to enter the United States Military 
Academy.
