                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 13, 2017

  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Bill Nalevanko, 
who will retire from the National Park Service on January 3, 2018. Bill 
spent twenty-seven years in federal service, twenty of which were with 
the National Park Service at the Steamtown, a national historic site 
dedicated to Scranton's industrial heritage and steam railroad 
transportation.
  Bill began his tenure with the National Park Service as Volunteer-in-
Park in 1996, shortly after Steamtown's grand opening in 1995. He 
worked his way up the ranks, becoming a seasonal employee and 
eventually a Public Information Officer and Webmaster for the historic 
site. For two decades, Bill has helped thousands of park visitors 
discover the wealth of history featured at the Steamtown National 
Historic Site.
  It is an honor to recognize Bill as he enters a well-deserved 
retirement. I am grateful to him for his career of service helping to 
preserve the history of America's railroads. His twenty-seven years on 
the job is a credit to his community devotion, and I wish him all the 
best in his retirement.
