                        Tuesday, October 1, 2002

  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today to 
pay special tribute to an outstanding gentleman from Ohio's Fifth 
Congressional District. George L. Mylander, of Sandusky, Ohio, is being 
honored for his dedicated service and loyalty to the citizens of 
Sandusky.
  Mr. Speaker, George's efforts are being recognized by the Firelands 
Regional Medical Center, of which both he and his family played a 
significant role in developing. Serving the community was not only 
George's duty but also his honor. These chances to give back to the 
community have brought him a lifetime of both personal and professional 
achievement. George truly is a valued asset to the City of Sandusky.
  George has served Sandusky well throughout his years, both 
professionally and philanthropically. He began as a schoolteacher in 
the Sandusky City School system, and has since put his efforts to work 
in the financial and health care industries throughout greater 
Northwest Ohio.
  George's numerous charitable interests include the Stein Hospice 
Service, Wightman-Wieber Foundation, and the United Way of Erie County. 
The Greater Toledo Area Chapter of the National Society of Fund Raising 
Executives recently recognized George's philanthropic efforts when they 
honored him with their Outstanding Philanthropist Award. He is also 
active in the local American Legion, Kiwanis Club, and serves on the 
boards of the Erie County Chamber of Commerce, and Bowling Green State 
University's Foundation.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in paying special tribute 
to George Mylander. Our communities are served well by having such 
honorable and giving citizens, like George, who care about the well 
being and stability of their communities. We wish him the very best on 
this special occasion.
