                    IN RECOGNITION OF AL KENNICKELL

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. 
Al Kennickell of Savannah, Georgia, for being named The Citadel Alumnus 
of the Year.
  Mr. Kennickell graduated from South Carolina's prestigious military 
college in 1977 after attending on a football scholarship.
  After graduation, he returned to Savannah to work in his family's 
printing business, Kennickell Printing Company. The business was 
originally founded by his grandfather in 1892. His hard work with the 
company led him to purchase it, and he further developed it into The 
Kennickell Group, which is now an award-winning printing company that 
does business internationally.
  In addition to growing his business, Mr. Kennickell dedicates much of 
his time towards the Savannah community. One of his many impressive 
community achievements includes the role of bringing the Liberty Mutual 
Legends of Golf, a professional golf tournament, to Savannah and 
coordinating its volunteer program.
  Currently, Mr. Kennickell is serving as president of the Brigadier 
Foundation of The Citadel, where his positive efforts are being felt 
throughout the foundation and the rest of the college.
  Congratulations, Mr. Kennickell. We are proud of you in Savannah, 
Georgia.
