                         Tuesday, June 22, 2004

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay special tribute to the 
village of Westervelt, as she celebrates her centennial. Established in 
1904, the people of Westervelt have given much to the United States of 
America.
  The village of Westervelt was named after Dr. J.C. Westervelt, who 
provided advice to many citizens on how to live happy and healthy 
lives. Since the founding of the village, many citizens have been 
blessed to call Westervelt home. This is true as well for Dr. 
Westervelt, who lived there until 1955, when he passed away at the age 
of 100.
  I am proud to represent the people of the village of Westervelt and 
to share in this special occasion with them. I thank them for all they 
give to this great Nation and wish them continued success in years to 
come. Congratulations.

                          ____________________
