                     RECOGNIZING ARMAND KUYKENDALL

  (Mr. YOHO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YOHO. Madam Speaker, I would like to take this time to recognize 
one of my constituents, Armand Kuykendall, who was named Putnam 
County's 50th Annual Spelling Bee winner on January 18, 2019.
  Armand is currently in the fifth grade at the Middleton-Burney 
Elementary School, where he is a straight-A student. During his young 
life, he has faced many obstacles. Armand has excelled at school with 
the support of his teachers and family.
  In order to compete in Putnam County's spelling bee, Armand spent his 
free time studying and memorizing over 450 words. His winning word was 
``apricot.''
  His family, friends--as I am--are extremely proud of Armand for 
competing and winning the spelling bee. I would like to congratulate 
him for his outstanding accomplishment.
  Armand now moves on to participate in the First Coast Spelling Bee at 
Jacksonville University on February 19, 2019. Best of L-U-C-K, Armand.
