                      Thursday, December 15, 2005

  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, I am proud today to recognize my constituent, 
Mr. Edward E. Nichols of Purcellville, Virginia, who has served the 
town of Purcellville in some capacity for the last 55 years. During his 
dedicated service to the people of Purcellville and Loudoun County, Mr. 
Nichols served 20 years on the Purcellville Town Council, 8 years on 
the Planning Commission, 5 years on the Board of Zoning Appeals, as 
well as on numerous other advisory committees.
  It gives me great pleasure to recognize Mr. Nichols' contributions to 
the Purcellville community. Mr. Nichols's father opened ``Nichols 
Hardware'' which has been in business for 91 years. Even today Ed's son 
Ted is part-owner of the family business. Mr. Nichols and his wife Meg 
have raised two sons, one daughter, and are the proud grandparents of 
seven and also have one great granddaughter. Mr. Nichols should be 
commended on raising an exceptional family while continually remaining 
actively involved in his community. Today, at 86 years-old, Mr. Nichols 
continues to serve on the Board of Zoning Appeals, and shows tremendous 
passion for serving the people of Purcellville.
