           IN HONOR OF WENDELL LAWRENCE'S SERVICE TO KENTUCKY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRETT GUTHRIE

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 25, 2018

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Wendell Lawrence upon 
his retirement as Executive Director of the Lincoln Trail Area 
Development District (LTADD) on August 1, 2018, after 35 years of 
service and more than 20 years as Executive Director. LTADD provides 
economic and workforce development services for Breckinridge, Grayson, 
Hardin, Larue, Meade, Nelson, and Washington Counties in Kentucky's 
Second District.
  Wendell began his lifetime of service in the U.S. Army and retired as 
a captain from the U.S. Army Reserve after serving for 23 years. He has 
worked for LTADD since 1983, where he has proven himself an invaluable 
member of our local community and advocate for the region. Under his 
leadership, LTADD has grown and has helped countless Kentuckians find 
jobs.. Wendell has worked with Fort Knox, other community stakeholders, 
and the government to direct resources to the Lincoln Trail area, and 
our community is better off for his service.
  I want to thank Wendell for his years of service to our community. He 
will be missed, but I wish him and his family the best in his 
retirement.
