                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOHN A. BOEHNER

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 25, 2002

  Mr. BOEHNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize my constituent 
and friend, Fred Worth of Troy, Ohio, on the occasion of his 50th 
birthday on July 26, 2002.
  Fred began his life of public service as a high school government and 
history teacher, and baseball coach. His enthusiasm for these subjects 
along with his dedication to his students have combined to make Fred 
Worth's 26 years as a public school teacher a success.
  Fred's teaching methods have never been confined to the classroom. 
Fred and his students organize fundraising drives to provide 
Thanksgiving meals to families that are less fortunate, and to purchase 
Christmas gifts for the children of these families. When the Ohio River 
flooded in 1997, Fred and his students traveled down to Hamilton County 
and assisted the local residents in the clean up of their flooded homes 
and businesses. Every election year, Fred makes sure that all of his 
eligible students are registered to vote, and also have the opportunity 
to volunteer for the campaigns of local candidates. And, twice a year, 
Fred arranges a trip to Washington, D.C., so that his students can meet 
their Congressman and see firsthand how their Federal Government works. 
Fred's commitment to providing his students with the opportunity and 
knowledge necessary for success has endeared him to two generations of 
young men and women who call Miami East High School their alma mater.
  Also, Fred leads his students by example, and has been an active 
participant in all levels of government in Miami County. Every 
Republican candidate who has run in Miami County in the last 20 years 
has benefited from Fred's hard work. Whether distributing campaign 
literature, putting up yard signs, or serving as Chairman of the County 
Board of Elections, Fred has always dedicated his time and resources to 
local candidates and the Miami County G.O.P. owes him a great debt of 
gratitude. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize Fred Worth's career 
of public service, and to wish him a happy 50th birthday.
