                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JANE HARMAN

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 8, 2001

  Ms. HARMAN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute today to Jack T. 
Goslin, who will be retiring as the City of Avalon Fire Chief on May 
31st. Chief Goslin began his career 43 years ago as a firefighter in 
the United States Air Force and has served the City of Avalon for over 
39\1/2\ years. Significantly, Chief Goslin is the longest serving fire 
chief in Los Angeles County history.
  His length of service to Avalon and his love for the seaside town is 
unmatched. He will be missed but not forgotten by all of those friends 
and colleagues who will gather on May 15th to wish him the very best 
for a long, active and healthy retirement. I join the citizens of 
Avalon in wishing Chief Goslin well. He has served the community with 
honor and distinction and a tenure that will likely be unsurpassed.
