                          Monday, June 7, 1999

  Ms. STABENOW. Mr. Speaker, this week Principal Ken Wensel will retire 
after a 30-year career at Fenton High School. During those years, Dr. 
Wensel touched the lives of countless young people--encouraging, 
advising, inspiring and serving as a role model.
  I would like to thank Dr. Wensel personally for his commitment to 
young people and education. Today I join Fenton Area Public Schools in 
declaring June 12, 1999 Ken Wensel Day. In addition, I would like to 
read the following resolution into the Congressional Record on behalf 
of the Fenton Area Public Schools:

       Whereas Dr. Wensel served the Fenton Area Public Schools 
     with distinction and honor for 30 years and;
       Whereas Ken Wensel has served in the positions of community 
     education director, athletic director, assistant principal 
     and, for 12 years as principal of Fenton High School and;
       Whereas Ken Wensel has been an unwavering advocate for 
     young men and women throughout this tenure as an 
     administrator and;

     school journalism and was named the Michigan Interscholastic

     commitment and drive to make Fenton High School the best it 
     could be and;
