     HONORING MR. F. WARREN HUGHES FOR HIS SERVICE TO YANCEY COUNTY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. HEATH SHULER

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 29, 2011

  Mr. SHULER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. F. Warren Hughes 
for his 27 years of service to Yancey County.
  After graduating law school, Mr. Hughes began his professional career 
as an attorney before being appointed to fill the vacant position as 
Clerk of Superior Court for Yancey County in 1984. Through his 27 years 
of public service, he has successfully been elected each term and has 
only been challenged once.
  Mr. Hughes's office is highly regarded and is considered one of the 
top clerk's offices in the State of North Carolina. For his work with 
the N.C. Courts Commission, the N.C. Judicial Council, and as President 
of the N.C. Clerks Association, his reputation is known throughout the 
State. He is also distinguished as one the few clerks in the State who 
is also an attorney.
  His legacy in the Yancey County Community will not be forgotten. I am 
grateful to have dedicated and hard working people like Mr. Hughes as 
public servants in Western North Carolina.
  I ask my colleagues to join me today in recognizing the exceptional 
career of Mr. F. Warren Hughes, Clerk of Superior Court for Yancey 
County.
