  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a great Kentuckian, Mr. 
J. Hagan Codell. Mr. Codell is retiring after a successful career as 
Senior Vice President and Market Leader of Traditional Bank, 
headquartered in Mt. Sterling, KY.
  Prior to his banking career, Mr. Codell worked for Codell 
Construction Company for 28 years, serving as Vice President. He worked 
at First National Bank in Jackson, KY as a loan officer then began 
working at Traditional Bank in 2002. With strong community relations, 
Mr. Codell has grown the Winchester, KY market in loans, deposits, and 
a solid customer base. His co-workers describe his leadership style as 
considerate and selfless.
  Mr. Codell is a true community leader. He serves as an elder at First 
Christian Church, a chairman/director at Cardinal Hill Hospital, a 
director of the Breathitt County Industrial Board, a director and 
treasurer of the Jackson-Breathitt County Airport Board, and a director 
of KY Easter Seals, in addition to other volunteer leadership 
positions. He is a servant leader who is a role model for others to 
emulate.
  As Hagan Codell reaches the end of his professional career and begins 
a well-deserved retirement, I join many others in thanking him for his 
service to his profession and to his community. It is my honor to 
recognize J. Hagan Codell before the United States House of 
Representatives.
