                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 22, 2008

  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Madam Speaker, it is with great sincerity and respect 
that I offer congratulations to several of Northwest Indiana's most 
talented, dedicated, and hardworking individuals. On Friday, June 6, 
2008, the Plumbers Local Union 210 will honor the graduating class of 
2008 at the Annual Apprentice Graduation Banquet, which will be held at 
the Patio Banquet Hall in Merrillville, Indiana.
  At this year's banquet, the Plumbers Local Union 210 will recognize 
and honor the 2008 apprentice graduates. The individuals who have 
completed the apprentice training in 2008 are: Sonny Armato, Ben 
Buchholz, Nick Goodman, Chad Hofferth, Timothy LaMere, Mario Lopez, 
Robert Matthews, Kamilah Weaver, Jacob Wesley, and David Young.
  Northwest Indiana has a rich history of excellence in its 
craftsmanship and loyalty by its tradesmen. These graduates are 
outstanding examples of each. They have mastered their trade and have 
demonstrated their loyalty to both the union and the community through 
their hard work and selfless dedication.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you and my other distinguished colleagues 
join me in congratulating these dedicated and hardworking individuals. 
Along with the other men and women of Northwest Indiana's unions, these 
individuals have committed themselves to making a significant 
contribution to the growth and development of the economy of the First 
Congressional District, and I am very proud to represent them in 
Washington, DC.
