              TRIBUTE TO JAMES DAILY WAHL OF ST. LOUIS, MO

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RUSS CARNAHAN

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 9, 2005

  Mr. CARNAHAN. Mr. Speaker, my remarks today are to recognize James 
Daily Wahl, recipient of the Ancient Order of Hiberbernians' Irishman 
of the Year Award.
  Mr. Wahl, the son of Margaret Dailey Wahl and John Wahl, is a life-
long resident of St. Louis, who has always been active in his church 
and community. He graduated from St. Louis University and St. Louis 
University Law School, and currently practices law, serves as a 
municipal judge in the City of St. Louis.
  Mr. Wahl's dedication and loyalty to his family and friends is 
evident in his 23-year marriage to his wife, Kathy Adelmann, and in his 
support of his four children: Kelly, Kerry, and the twins, Kristin and 
Tom.
  Mr. Speaker, the nearly 250 people in attendance for the presentation 
of his award made it evident to all that his devotion to his Irish 
heritage is ever present. This was best exemplified by his steadfast 
support of the McBride Principles Bill, which barred the State of 
Missouri from investing in and contracting with businesses that 
practice discrimination against Irish Catholics in Northern Ireland. My 
congratulations are with Mr. Wahl and his family.

                          ____________________
