Park Civic Association on its 50th anniversary.

  The Forest Park community and its people have played many significant 
roles throughout their rich history. Many communities across this great 
nation have been modeled after Forest Park and its pedestrian-friendly 
design. In 1976, resident Tina (Bishoff) Lovin set a then-world record 
when she swam the English Channel at the age of 17. The Montreal 
Olympics featured a Forest Hill local, Debbie (Keplar) Wilson, when in 
1976 she won an Olympic Bronze Medal in the Platform Diving event.
  The hard work and selfless contributions of Forest Park and the 
members of its community have contributed to the vibrancy and sense of 
unity in Central Ohio. I ask that all Members of Congress join me as I 
offer my congratulations to the Forest Park Civic Association on its 
50th anniversary.
