                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 29, 1998

  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Mr. George Jesko, Deputy 
Superintendent of the Lamphere Schools after 33 years of service in 
several positions in the school district.
  George first came to Lamphere Schools as a young Science teacher who 
also coached basketball, track and football. As a result of his success 
in coaching, he was named Coach of the Year after only two years. This 
was followed by the same honor six additional times.
  George was not only a teacher and coach but also Athletic Director, 
Assistant High School Principal, Associate Superintendent and Deputy 
Superintendent of Human Resources/Athletics.
  In addition to his school positions, George has been an active leader 
in community organizations. He served as President of the Oakland 
Association of Personnel Administrators, Chairman of the Council of 
Chief Negotiators, and has been very involved in the American 
Association of Personal Administrators, Michigan Employer Labor 
Relations, the Metro Bureau and Michigan Negotiators Association.
  The Lamphere Schools have indeed been fortunate to have had the 
services and talent of this outstanding and dedicated individual. I 
commend him for his commitment to the students in providing the best 
educational environmental in both academics and athletics.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in wishing George Jesko 
good health, success and happiness as he enters a new phase in his 
life.
