                     in the house of representative

                        Thursday, June 20, 2019

  Mr. CUELLAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the career and 
service of Randolph Goodman. He recently retired after 26 years of work 
at Gary Job Corps.
  Randolph Goodman was born and raised in Austin, Texas. In 1968, while 
attending The University of Texas at Arlington, he was inspired to join 
the Navy and serve his country after the assassination of Robert 
Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King.
  After serving in the Navy for 20 years and completing his double 
major in history and political science, Mr. Goodman began working at 
Gary Job Corps as the Public Information Officer and Business Community 
Liaison.
  The organization is dedicated to giving young adults access to free 
academic and technical career training. It puts young people on the 
path to the American dream through hard work and education. Not only 
does it set them up for economic success--it gives them the pride and 
purpose that comes from earning a diploma or technical certification 
and beginning a meaningful career. The San Marcos location, that Mr. 
Goodman served at, is the largest Job Corps Center in the State of 
Texas.
  Throughout his 26 years at Gary Job Corps, he has traveled to 
Washington, D.C. to advocate for funding and ensure students have 
access to the resources they need to thrive. Mr. Goodman has credited 
his success and tenacity during his time at Gary Job Corps to the 
students he has represented.
  In his free time, Mr. Goodman has also served in many nonprofit 
organizations and committees in San Marcos, Texas. However, his 
believes his greatest success is marrying his childhood sweetheart. Mr. 
Goodman and his wife, Eva, will be celebrating their 49th wedding 
anniversary this December.
