                      Wednesday, January 16, 2019

  Mr. STIVERS. Madam Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the people of 
Ohio's 15th Congressional District to celebrate the 100th birthday of 
one of Millersport, Ohio's most distinguished citizens, a man who 
continues to bring smiles to others, Mr. Donald G. Jewell.
  An incredibly intelligent and hardworking man, Mr. Jewell valiantly 
offered his skills in service to our nation as a member of the Civilian 
Conservation Corps and the United States Air Force. He earned the rank 
of Master Sergeant and received the Bronze Star during World War II. 
His commitment to his fellow soldiers cannot be understated, as he 
still reflects fondly on their success and dedication.
  Mr. Jewell has been a fixture of our community since 1945. In that 
time, he has helped make Millersport a wonderful place to live, work, 
and raise a family. An important contributor to our local economy, he 
owned a gas station and managed the Midland Screw Factory. Moreover, 
from his time on the village council to the founding of the Sweet Corn 
Festival, he spent his days diligently working to improve the lives of 
his neighbors and bring smiles to their faces.
  Most importantly, Mr. Jewell has built a wonderful and fulfilling 
life in Millersport with his late wife June by his side, surrounded by 
his son, Edwin; three grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and three 
great-great-grandchildren.
  He is an exemplary citizen and Millersport is undeniably a better 
place because of Mr. Donald G. Jewell, and I encourage my colleagues to 
join me in wishing him a very happy 100th birthday.
