                  HONORING WADE AND GERTRUDE WHITAKER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. LUKE MESSER

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 28, 2018

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, on behalf of the entire 6th 
Congressional District of Indiana, to recognize Wade and Gertrude 
Whitaker for their contribution to our state and their community.
  Wade and Gertrude have made a positive and lasting impact in 
Connersville and embody exactly what ``Hoosier hospitality'' is meant 
to be. I could always count on them, and I know our state is better off 
today because of their extraordinary leadership and service in Fayette 
County.
  On a personal note, the Whitakers were among my earliest and most 
vocal supporters. They are loyal confidants and wise advisers. I want 
to thank them for their friendship and support of my work in Congress. 
I wish them continued success in all that God has planned for their 
family.
