  Mr. BOST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jim Shrader from 
Madison County, Illinois upon his retirement from a long news and 
publishing career in Southern Illinois.
  After attending Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, Jim began 
building an impressive career. He started in advertising at the then-
Granite City Journal and eventually became advertising director and 
publisher for the Alton Telegraph. Jim was also vice president of sales 
for Alton radio station WBGZ.
  Jim saw first-hand how the delivery of daily news evolved in the 
Information Age. Through it all, he succeeded in his industry and 
served as a great example of leadership in the newsroom. For these 
reasons, I am proud to honor Jim Shrader for a great career with well-
wishes for an enjoyable retirement
