                          HON. PAUL E. GILLMOR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 30, 1999

  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay a very special tribute 
to one of the truly outstanding individuals from Ohio's Fifth 
Congressional District, Ms. Ardeth Chupp. On Thursday, September 30, 
1999, Ardeth Chupp will retire after twenty years of service as 
Treasurer of Huron County.
  Over the last two decades, Ardeth Chupp has certainly been a valuable 
asset to Huron County. Since becoming the first woman to hold the 
office of Huron County Treasurer twenty years ago, Ardeth Chupp has 
worked diligently to serve Huron County and each of its residents in 
every manner possible. Her generosity has been unparalleled and her 
assistance to all in the community unwavering. Without question, Ardeth 
Chupp has given unselfishly of her time to help make Huron County a 
great place to live.
  Ardeth Chupp embodies the very spirit of American workmanship through 
her kindness and conscientious attention to detail. She has upheld the 
high standards of the Office of Treasurer and maintained the integrity 
expected from our public officials. Through her job as Treasurer, 
Ardeth Chupp has epitomized the word that describes her best--service. 
Although she is stepping down after twenty years, her hard work, 
commitment, and dedication to the citizens of Huron County will 
continue long into the future.
  Mr. Speaker, it has often been said that America succeeds due to the 
remarkable accomplishments and contributions of her citizens. It is 
evident that Ardeth Chupp has given freely of her time and energy to 
assist in the preservation of American ideals. For that, we owe her a 
debt of gratitude that mere words cannot sufficiently express.
  Mr. Speaker, at this time, I would ask my colleagues of the 106th 
Congress to stand and join me in paying special tribute to Ardeth 
Chupp. On the occasion of her retirement as Huron County Treasurer, we 
thank her for her dedicated service and we wish her all the best in the 
future.
