  IN SPECIAL RECOGNITION OF EVERETT M. WOODEL, JR. FOR HIS SERVICE AS 
    DISTRICT DIRECTOR OF OHIO'S FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OFFICES

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT E. LATTA

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 9, 2011

  Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to pay special 
tribute to an outstanding public servant from Ohio's Fifth 
Congressional District. My District Director, Everett M. Woodel, Jr. of 
Port Clinton, Ohio left after twelve years of service to Ohio's Fifth 
Congressional District Offices.
  Everett Woodel began his service to Ohio's Fifth Congressional 
District as a District Representative to the late Congressman Paul E. 
Gillmor. During his tenure with the late Congressman Gillmor, Everett 
also filled the role as the Deputy Communications Director. Following 
the vacancy left by the late Congressman Gillmor, Everett's 
professionalism and dedication to the constituents and issues of Ohio's 
Fifth Congressional District made him an outstanding pick to serve as 
the Deputy District Director. In 2010, when my former District Director 
retired, Everett handily took over the position as District Director.
  A veteran of the United States Army, Everett has served our country 
with pride and compassion. As a public servant, I have found Everett to 
be dedicated to the citizens of Northwest Ohio, not only managing the 
day to day functions of my district offices, but also demonstrating 
that the well-being of the constituents of Ohio's Fifth Congressional 
District is paramount in making this the hallmark of his career with 
the United States House of Representatives. Everett will continue his 
commitment to public service as he has accepted a position with the 
State of Ohio's Industrial Commission.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Everett 
M. Woodel, Jr. for his roles in Ohio's Fifth District Offices. Our 
communities have undoubtedly benefited from his years of faithful 
service. We wish Everett M. Woodel, Jr. all of the best upon his 
departure as District Director of Ohio's Fifth Congressional District 
Offices.
