                        Wednesday, June 24, 2015

  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize and thank 
Jim Tudor with the Georgia Association of Convenience Stores who is 
retiring this week after 29 years of outstanding service to the people 
of Georgia.
  Jim and his wife Sandra Tudor have 4 children, James, Kelly, Bobby & 
Bill, and 5 grandchildren.
  In addition to working for 29 years on behalf of Georgia consumers at 
the Georgia Association of Convenience Stores, Jim worked for 7-Eleven 
for nine years and served his country as a member of the U.S. Army for 
two years.
  An active member of my community, Jim donated his time through the 
Covington Rotary and previously the South Dekalb Rotary.
  Over the years Jim has received a number of awards, including the 
Liberty Award from Brown & Williamson in 2000 and various Pigeon Awards 
from The Pigeon Committee--a group of fellow lobbyists for the State of 
Georgia.
  Jim was recognized by James Magazine as one of the Top Ten Lobbyists 
or Trade Organizations for 3 straight years: 2012-2013-2014.
  He gives back to his community and has been extremely active with 
Georgia Youth Assembly, the YMCA, and various other youth groups as a 
mentor and leader.
  Upon retirement, Jim and Sandra plan to roam the countryside in their 
retro-style 2015 Mellow Yellow Winnebago.
  I wish Jim, Sandra, and the entire Tudor family lots of happiness as 
they embark on this new adventure.
