                       Thursday, December 2, 2010

  Mr. KILDEE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Eugene 
Gwizdala as he retires from the Bay County Commission after serving 34 
years as the Commissioner for the 8th district. A celebration is 
planned for December 14th in Bay City, Michigan in his honor.
  First elected in 1975 to represent the 4th district, Eugene served 
through 1984. He was elected in 1987 to represent the 8th district and 
has held the position since that time. During his tenure he was 
Chairman of the Board in 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2005; and Vice-Chair of 
the Board in 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009. He 
also served on numerous county boards and commissions. He was a member 
of the MSB Airport Commission, working tirelessly to develop and secure 
services for airport customers and ensure the future of the airport. 
Eugene was also instrumental in the creation of the Bay County Mosquito 
Control Program.
  Madam Speaker, Eugene Gwizdala has served the people of Bay County 
with diligence, insight, and enthusiasm. He has spent the past three 
decades of his life committed to improving the quality of life for the 
residents of Bay County. I wish him the best as he retires and enters 
the next phase of his life.
