                       Wednesday, April 26, 2006

  Miss. McMORRIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Wendell J. 
Satre, Ron and Julie Wells, and Fidelity and Associates for being named 
Junior Achievement of the Inland Northwest Hall of Fame Laureates for 
2006. These individuals embody the mission of Junior Achievement, which 
is to inspire young people to be successful in life through free 
enterprise education and help them envision and pursue their future 
roles in our society. These honorees serve as examples of good 
mentorship and civic responsibility.
  Wendell J. Satre is the former chairman, president, and CEO of 
Washington Water Power, which has since become A vista Utilities. He 
has been actively involved in community service and philanthropic 
organizations, and was instrumental in securing a Washington State 
University campus in Spokane. His dedication has helped make Eastern 
Washington a place of charity, education, and mutual responsibility.
  Ron and Julie Wells have been active and successful historical 
preservationists in the Spokane area. They see our historical 
structures as vehicles for remembering our past and understanding the 
present. The rich heritage available to the citizens of Spokane is in 
large part due to the work these individuals have done.
  Hall of Fame Laureate Fidelity and Associates has served the Spokane 
area for 100 years and is 1 of the Inland Northwest's largest locally 
owned independent insurance agencies. Fidelity's dedication to the 
people of Eastern Washington is exemplified in its College Student 
Property Insurance Program which has helped alleviate one of the 
stresses of college life associated with living in dorms and houses.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge and thank these honorees for 
their service to the communities and citizens of Eastern Washington. I 
invite my colleagues to join me in congratulating these Junior 
Achievement Hall of Fame Laureates.
