  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Bowling Green 
Town Manager Stephen Manster on the occasion of his retirement from 
public service. Throughout his forty-year career, he worked in both 
local and regional levels of government.
   Mr. Manster was hired by the Town Council as Town Manager on January 
3, 2006. Before coming to Bowling Green, he served for nineteen years 
as the Executive Director of the Rappahannock Area Development 
Commission (RADCO). During this time he was able

to work with the Town and Caroline County extensively, leading to a 
seamless transition into the Town Manager position.
   Stephen holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology from 
Pennsylvania State University and a Degree of Master of City and 
Regional Planning from Rutgers University. He has also completed 
extensive graduate work in the Master of Public Administration program 
at Virginia Commonwealth University.
   Mr. Manster's commitment to public service demonstrates a rare sense 
of dedication to duty, and I am pleased to recognize this special 
occasion. Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in celebrating the career 
of Mr. Stephen Manster.
