                       HONORING DR. MARK EUTSLER

  (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, today, I rise to honor Linden, Indiana, 
resident Dr. Mark Eutsler.
  This year marks the 25th year that Dr. Eutsler has co-chaired the 
nationally televised IPL 500 Festival Parade. Using his experience as 
the former director of bands at McCutcheon High School, he has helped 
over 45,000 students from 425 Indiana schools participate in the 
nationally acclaimed IPL 500 Festival Parade.
  Prior to his appointment as co-chair, Dr. Eutsler has served as an 
enthusiastic supporter of the Indianapolis 500 Festival for decades. 
Mark has attended the parade consistently since 1980 and has been a 
volunteer for the event for 29 years.
  Dr. Eutsler's consecutive years of service stand out among the more 
than 3,000 volunteers who will fill roughly 7,000 positions for the 
month-long May event every year.
  Dr. Mark Eutsler is a pillar of the community. I express my deepest 
thanks and appreciation for his passion and for the service he has 
devoted to a program that defines Hoosier heritage.
