                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRETT GUTHRIE

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 17, 2014

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Bill Evans. 
Considered to have pioneered FM radio in Hardin County, Bill is set to 
retire as Owner and President of Skytower Communications.
   Bill previously served as president of the Kentucky Broadcasters 
Association, even receiving the Kentucky Mic Award. He was also active 
with the National Association of Broadcasters, serving as a board 
member for the Kentucky and West Virginia region. Bill also served as 
President of the Hardin County Chamber of Commerce, in addition to 
receiving the Big E award and being named the Small Business Person of 
the Year.
   Anyone who knows Bill knows that he's only one-half of a team. That 
other half is his wife, Marilyn. Together, they have served as chair of 
the United Way Committee and are very active at Severns Valley Baptist 
Church, where Bill has served three terms as a deacon and is currently 
chairman of the deacons. Marilyn has also been instrumental with her 
work on the Hardin County Fair Board and in leading the creation of a 
free children's fair for the community. Marilyn has also served as 
President of the Junior Women's Club. A real fixture in the community, 
Bill and Marilyn make quite the team.
   I wish Bill well in his retirement, but know he will continue to be 
a driving force in Hardin County.
