  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Mr. Wilhelm G. 
Speigelberg, II, who is retiring after 31 years of government service.
  After graduating cum laude from Case Western Reserve University with 
a degree in political science in 1978, Mr. Speigelberg attended the 
Cleveland Marshall School of Law. He earned his J.D. in 1982.
  Mr. Speigelberg began his career in public service with the Ohio 
State Lottery in 1976 as a public information officer. He later worked 
with the Ohio Department of Administrative Services as a grant 
coordinator. Once Mr. Speigelberg had earned his law degree, in 1983, 
the City of Garfield Heights appointed him as the city's assistant law 
director. After several years, Mr. Speigelberg began working with Judge 
Deborah J. Nicastro. He would serve as her personal bailiff and law 
clerk and was later appointed Magistrate and Acting Judge to assist 
Judge Nicastro.
  In addition to his distinguished career, Mr. Speigelberg is an active 
member of the community. He has been involved in numerous campaigns 
throughout the State of Ohio and is well known for his political 
campaign management skills. He is a licensed referee who officiates 
local basketball, football, baseball and lacrosse games.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honoring Mr. Wilhelm G. 
Speigelberg II and thanking him for 31 years of dedicated service to 
the City of Garfield Heights and State of Ohio.
