    CONGRATULATING MR. GARY DENICK ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. JO BONNER

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 15, 2006

  Mr. BONNER. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride and pleasure that I 
rise to honor Mr. Gary Denick on the occasion of his retirement after 
serving the U.S. House of Representatives for 28 years.
  Mr. Denick joined the production staff of the House Recording Studio 
as a camera operator in 1978. He rose to production director and became 
director in 2002. Mr. Denick was even part of the history making crew 
that provided the first floor coverage of House proceedings.
  Mr. Denick began his career in 1972 as a soldier in the U.S. Army 
after graduating from Miami University of Ohio. He was trained as a 
television specialist, served a tour of duty in the Republic of Korea 
and was honorably discharged in 1975. Over the course of his nearly 
three decades with the House Recording Studio, countless members and 
their staffs have come to know Gary and call him a friend, me included.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating a 
dedicated professional and friend to many throughout this body. I know 
Mr. Denick's colleagues, his family, and his many friends join with me 
in praising his accomplishments and extending thanks for his many 
efforts over the years on behalf of the House Recording Studio and the 
U.S. House of Representatives.
