                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                        TRIBUTE TO BILL DUTCHER

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, I have the honor of recognizing 
Bill Dutcher, general manager of MetraPark, for his 40 years of service 
to the Billings community as he prepares to retire at the end of the 
year.
  Before stepping into the role of general manager, Bill served in a 
variety of other roles from part time work at the fairgrounds, to 
maintenance, as well as operations management at MetraPark. Not only 
has Bill met Presidents and rock stars while on the job, but he has 
also bedded every horse stall and washed more than 10,000 arena seats. 
No matter what the job is, Bill always brings the same level of 
enthusiasm to the task at hand.
  Though Bill will be missed by more than 150 MetraPark employees, he 
will not be a stranger once he retires. There are many upcoming events 
he looks forward to attending, which will be easily accomplished as the 
Yellowstone County commissioners presented him with a lifetime pass to 
every future MetraPark event. Bill has truly created a legacy of 
customer service within this organization that will be remembered for 
decades to come.
  It is my distinct honor to recognize Bill for his 40 years of service 
to the people of the Billings community. I have no doubt Bill will find 
new ways to bring people joy as he enters into this new chapter of life 
and enjoys time with his wife and two children.
