RECOGNIZING HELEN GUETTLER McENTYRE UPON HER RETIREMENT FROM SERVICE AS 
                WASHINGTON COUNTY, FLORDIA TAX COLLECTOR

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JEFF MILLER

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, December 21, 2012

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Helen 
Guettler McEntyre upon her retirement after forty-two years of 
dedicated service to the citizens of Washington County, Florida as Tax 
Collector. Mrs. McEntyre is a Florida native who was born in Fort 
Pierce. As one of sixteen children in a large, loving family, she was 
taught the value of hard work and honesty in all she did. The strong 
foundation of principles she gained as a child contributed to the way 
she operated as Tax Collector--with integrity and dignity.
  Mrs. McEntyre began her lifetime career in public service on October 
1, 1970. Throughout her forty-two year career in the Tax Collector's 
Office, she worked tirelessly to ensure efficiency and success for 
Washington County. Her final accomplishment before retiring was 
implementing driver's license services from the Collector's office, 
which further reflects her willingness to improve services for the 
citizens of Washington County. Mrs. McEntyre is truly an exemplary 
public servant, and Northwest Florida is grateful for the integral role 
she has played in our community.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am honored to 
recognize Helen Guettler McEntyre for her exceptional public service to 
Washington County. My wife Vicki and I wish her all the best in her 
retirement.
