                         HONORING MIKE PIGGOTT

  (Mr. BAIRD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BAIRD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mike Piggott, who 
has become virtually an institution for the Lafayette community and 
Purdue University.
  Mike has been an integral part of the greater Lafayette area for more 
than 40 years. He serves numerous roles at Purdue, including public 
address announcer for the men's basketball team and public orator for 
more than 100 commencement ceremonies.
  Before working at Purdue, Mike was general manager at WLFI, and he 
was the television station's news director and news anchor for 14 years 
and news director at WASK radio for 13 years.
  Mike's remarkable career focused on communicating with neighbors, 
friends, and alumni through sharing stories, delivering the news, and 
representing Purdue University.
  His wife, Nancy, is a retired fourth grade teacher at Glen Acres 
Elementary. Together, they have two daughters, Jane and Julie, both 
married and living in the Indianapolis area, along with five 
grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Mike on his retirement and thank him for 
his dedication to our community.
