                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                          TRIBUTE TO TIM MASSA

 Mr. HUSTED. Madam President, today I would like to recognize a 
fellow Ohioan and a fellow Dayton Flyer, Tim Massa, who this September 
will retire after 37 remarkable years in the human resources 
profession, the last 16 of them at The Kroger Co., one of Ohio's and 
America's great companies. Tim joined Kroger in 2010 as vice president 
of talent development, after 21 years building his craft at Procter & 
Gamble. Over the following decade and a half, he rose to lead human 
resources and labor relations, then to serve as Kroger's chief people 
officer, and ultimately as executive vice president and chief associate 
experience officer. In Cincinnati, he has served the American Cancer 
Society, sat on the Cincinnati Zoo's board of trustees, and supported 
the city's Workforce Innovation Center, always finding time to give 
back to the community he and his wife Lisa have called home while 
raising their two daughters. On behalf of the people of Ohio, I want to 
congratulate Tim Massa on an extraordinary 37-year career, thank him 
for his dedicated service to Kroger's associates and to the human 
resources profession, and wish him, Lisa, and their family all the best 
as they begin this well-earned next chapter.
