               CONGRATULATING JIM TUDOR ON HIS RETIREMENT

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 7, 2015

  Mr. TOM PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to speak in 
honor of a good friend and policy advocate, Jim Tudor. Having known Jim 
for years, including back in my time in the Georgia State Senate, I 
know personally his hard work ethic and keen insight on public affairs.
  Jim graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 1972 and spent two 
years in the Army. Having worked for Georgia Association of Convenience 
Stores since January 1987, Jim has been recognized by James Magazine as 
one of the Top Ten Lobbyist or trade organizations for the last three 
years and has received various Pigeon Awards from the Pigeon Community. 
Jim is highly active in the community, including his church, the 
Covington Rotary, the Georgia Youth Assembly and the YMCA.
  Mr. Speaker, Jim recently announced his retirement after 29 years of 
work at the Georgia Association of Convenience Stores. After having 
done such wonderful work for so long, I am sure it will be a distinct, 
but well-deserved, change of pace. Though the Association will miss 
him, I know how excited his wife Sarah, his four children, and five 
grandchildren must be. Jim looks forward to roaming the countryside 
with Sarah in their retro-style 2015 Mellow Yellow Winnebago. On behalf 
of the Sixth District of Georgia, I congratulate Jim and thank him for 
all he has done enriching our community.
