                          HON. DALE E. KILDEE

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 3, 2011

  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Alvin J. 
Appold, retiring after 18 years as the Clerk of Frankenlust Township, 
Michigan. The township will hold a celebration this evening in his 
honor at the Township Hall.
  Alvin Appold is a lifelong resident of Frankenlust Township. He 
served as the Township Clerk from 1984-1992 and 2000-2011. Prior to 
assuming the Clerk's duties, Alvin worked in the construction trade, as 
a farmer, and as an appraiser. He is an active member of St. Paul 
Lutheran Church singing in the choir and working as a Sunday Greeter. 
Alvin enjoys politics and was dedicated to performing his duties in a 
serious, professional manner. He is very proud of Frankenlust Township 
and the role he played in its significant development in recent years. 
Now that he is retired, Alvin plans to spend more time pursuing his 
leisure activities: working out at Delta College's pool, gardening and 
playing golf.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join me in 
congratulating Alvin J. Appold as he retires as Frankenlust Township 
Clerk. I wish him the best in his future endeavors for many, many years 
to come.
