  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Gene Eaton of Sidney, Iowa, on his retirement as an 
attorney in Fremont County, Iowa, after serving for 53 years. For over 
100 years, Gene, his father, and great-grandfather have been serving 
the Sidney community as attorneys.
  In 1962 Gene joined the law practice that his great grandfather had 
begun in the 1800s. His father joined the practice in 1928. Gene

has seen a number of changes in the legal profession over the last 50 
years. The most significant change was the creation of the computer and 
how legal business is conducted today by e-filing casework, briefs, and 
files. Although there have been changes to the legal profession during 
his time as an attorney Gene's work ethic and dedication to upholding 
the law have stayed the same.
  Mr. Speaker, Gene has made a difference in his community by serving 
others. It is with great honor that I recognize him today. I ask that 
my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives join me in 
honoring his accomplishments. I thank him for his service to the city 
of Sidney and southwest Iowa and wish him and his family nothing but 
the best moving forward.
