   A TRIBUTE TO SERGEANT MIKE HUMPHREY, NORTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY PATROL

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MIKE McINTYRE

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 9, 2002

  Mr. McINTYRE. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise 
today and honor Sergeant Mike Humphrey of the North Carolina Highway 
Patrol. On March 31, 2002, Sergeant Humphrey retired after serving the 
people of North Carolina for over twenty-eight years.
  Mike Humphrey was a decorated officer, who spent his career ensuring 
that the people and the roads of North Carolina were safe. In 1977, 
Sergeant Humphrey was honored with the Law Enforcement Officer of the 
Year Award. In addition, Sergeant Humphrey serves on the North Carolina 
Seventh Congressional District Law Enforcement Advisory Committee, 
where he is a positive voice for the law enforcement community. 
Protecting lives and patrolling our communities were not only the 
passion of Sergeant Humphrey, but also that of his father. The 
Humphreys were the first father and son to serve simultaneously in the 
history of the North Carolina Highway Patrol.
  We owe Sergeant Mike Humphrey our sincere appreciation for his 
twenty-eight years of committed service to our state. His 
determination, devotion, and dedication to the people of North Carolina 
should serve as an example to us all. May God bless him and his family, 
and may God bless the great state of North Carolina.
