  TRIBUTE TO 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE LONDON POST OFFICE OF LONDON, WV

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. SHELLEY MOORE CAPITO

                            of west virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 13, 2006

  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 100th 
anniversary of the London Post Office in London, WV. Despite 15 
postmasters and three different buildings it remains a center of 
activity for the community.
  The first location for the post office was in a building near the 
railroad tracks, and it was later housed in a general store that burned 
down in 1989. The current post office now sits on the same piece of 
land as the two previous ones. This landmark has become an anchor of 
the community for social gatherings and town news.
  Chip Frame is the current postmaster and has worked there for 9 
years. Even with an hour commute, the family atmosphere and friendly 
community make it worth the drive for him.
