                 CONGRATULATIONS TO POSTMASTER OLA HELM

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. RON PAUL

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 29, 2009

  Mr. PAUL. Madam Speaker, Ola Helm, a 23 year veteran of the United 
States Postal Service, will be officially sworn in as the 24th 
postmaster for the Brazoria, Texas post office on Thursday, October 
first. I am pleased to extend my congratulations to Postmaster Helm.
  Postmaster Helm began her postal career on May 10, 1986 as a letter 
carrier in my hometown of Lake Jackson, Texas. Over the years, 
Postmaster Helm held a variety of positions in the postal service, 
including window clerk, supervisor, coach postmaster and officer in 
charge at a variety of local post offices, including Danbury, Freeport, 
West Columbia, Sweeny and Needville.
  Prior to being appointed postmaster for Brazoria, Ola Helm served as 
Postmaster for the Van Vleck office. She has spent the past 17 months 
familiarizing herself with the employees and patrons of the Brazoria 
post office. The people of Brazoria County are lucky to have such a 
dedicated and experienced postal veteran serving as postmaster, and I 
am pleased to once again extend my congratulations to Postmaster Ola 
Helm.
