HONORING NORM ``JACK'' SNOW
(Mr. KUHL of New York asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. KUHL of New York. Mr. Speaker, for the past 30 year, Norm
``Jack'' Snow has been a familiar face in the town of Milo, Yates
County, New York, serving as councilman for 12 years before moving into
the supervisor position for the last 18 years. Jack has offered his
strength, his courage, his convictions to the town of Milo. He
announced his retirement at the beginning of this year, much to the
dismay of the people he represents.
A native of upstate New York, Jack grew up on a dairy farm walking
one mile to a one-room schoolhouse, in which he jokes was ``uphill both
ways.'' Jack didn't grow up dreaming of politics but decided he could
make a difference in the community that he loved. Besides his 30 years
of public service, Jack is an active member in the community serving as
the President of the Shrine Club, which enables 700 school children
from around the State to attend the Shrine Circus each year.
Jack cites that the reason he stayed in politics for 30 years was
because of the terrific people he worked with every day. But it was us
who were blessed to work with Jack, and more importantly, blessed to
know him. I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
