                         HON. WILLIAM L. OWENS

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 15, 2012

  Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a constituent and 
friend, Tom Plimpton. I have known Tom for a number of years as a 
friend and former colleague, and I want to congratulate him on his 
induction into the St. Lawrence University Hall of Fame.
  A distinguished lawyer in Upstate New York, I want to take this 
opportunity to not just acknowledge his academic, legal, and personal 
successes, but recognize his athletic achievements as a part of the 
1987 Men's Track and Field Team at St. Lawrence University.
  As a member of the St. Lawrence University 1987 Men's Track and Field 
team he contributed to their win in the second-ever New York State 
Collegiate Indoor Championship and the first New York State Outdoor 
title. He then went on to help his team finish second in the NCAA 
Division III Indoor Championship. For his efforts in the 400 meter team 
relay, Tom earned All American honors.
  Again, I congratulate Tom on this prestigious distinction and wish 
him all the best.
