                 RECOGNIZING THE CAREER OF MR. SAM WOLF

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JERRY F. COSTELLO

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 29, 2010

  Mr. COSTELLO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to ask my colleagues to 
join me in recognizing the distinguished career and significant 
regional contributions of Mr. Sam Wolf.
  Sam Wolf, a resident of Granite City, Illinois, served 18 years in 
the Illinois House of Representatives from 1974 until he retired in 
1992. Among his more notable accomplishments during his time in the 
General Assembly was legislation establishing community college voting 
sub-districts. This was important to ensure equitable representation of 
the different geographic areas covered by a community college district.
  Sam Wolf has been a strong proponent of Southwestern Illinois College 
and was a driving force in the establishment of the college's Granite 
City Campus in 1984. Sam worked to secure funding for the Industrial 
Technology Center at the Granite City Campus and the development of the 
Automotive Collision Repair Technology program there. Sam has been a 
member of the Southwestern Illinois College Board of Trustees since 
October 1995.
  In recognition of Sam's tireless efforts to expand and improve 
Southwestern Illinois College, the Granite City Campus is named the Sam 
Wolf Granite City Campus. This is a fitting tribute for a man who has 
done so much to provide quality educational opportunities for current 
and future generations.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in an expression of 
appreciation to Mr. Sam Wolf for his many contributions to the 
Southwestern Illinois region and to wish him the very best in the 
future.
