                        HONORING BEN QUINN, SR.

  (Mr. GUTHRIE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ben Quinn, Sr., from 
Glasgow, Kentucky, for his induction into the University of Kentucky 
College of Engineering Hall of Distinction.
  Ben graduated from the College of Engineering in 1966, and has over 
50 years of experience in civil engineering. Thirty-five years ago, he 
started his own company, American Engineers, Inc., with only two 
employees, in Glasgow. Now, American Engineers has over 100 employees 
in Kentucky and Georgia.
  American Engineers has worked on several projects in Kentucky's 
Second District, including the William H. Natcher Parkway, the 
Owensboro Health Regional Hospital, and the Western Kentucky University 
baseball field.
  Next week is Small Business Week, and I cannot think of a better 
example of building a small business from the ground up than Ben, his 
wife, Dianne, and his family. Ben is an outstanding member of our 
community, and I am proud to recognize his achievements.
