  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to honor Mike 
McClure of Mt. Vernon, IL for his long and distinguished teaching and 
coaching career. After 34 years as a coach at Okawville High School, 
Rend Lake College, and Woodlawn High School, Mike is retiring.
  As a teacher myself, I would like to thank Mike for his commitment to 
shape the lives of the students he has coached and taught. Through his 
guidance and wisdom he has had a positive impact on the lives of many.
  I wish Mike the best in his retirement. He is a legend who I know 
will continue to influence all those he comes in contact with.
