  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Howard Garrett 
of the 1st District of Kentucky on his retirement from Edmonton State 
Bank after 50 years of service and dedication. This momentous occasion 
gives us the opportunity to reflect upon the extraordinary achievements 
of Mr. Garrett, a respected member of the community.
  A lifelong resident of Metcalfe County, Mr. Garrett has devoted his 
time to improving the community he calls home. In addition to his years 
of service at Edmonton State Bank, Mr. Garrett also served as the mayor 
of Edmonton for a quarter of a century. During his tenure as mayor, he 
championed several projects that helped the city to continue to 
progress in development, including the establishment of Edmonton 
Memorial Park.
  Mr. Garrett has also served as President of the Fair Board and as a 
trustee of the Metcalfe County Public Library. He has dedicated his 
life to serving the people of Metcalfe County.
  I join with everyone in Metcalfe County in honoring the incredible 
career and devotion of Mr. Garrett to the community. I wish him the 
best as he begins the next phase of life and express my gratitude for 
his service to the 1st District of Kentucky.
