             HONORING CARL NORDSTROM ON HIS 100TH BIRTHDAY

  (Ms. JENKINS of Kansas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. JENKINS of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 
100th birthday of Carl Nordstrom of Topeka on March 5.
  Carl has devoted his life to public service. He was the executive 
director of the Kansas Association of Commerce and Industry from 1970 
until 1982. He was cofounder of Leadership Kansas, inspiring leaders to 
maintain and strengthen the social, business, and political fabric of 
our State. In 1983, Carl was named Kansan of the Year by the Native 
Sons and Daughters of Kansas.
  A graduate of Topeka High School and Washburn University, he 
participated in many amphibious landings in the Pacific during World 
War II. He is a past president of the Washburn Alumni Association and 
is in the Washburn Athletic Hall of Fame. He remains to this day a 
leader and teacher in the University United Methodist Church in Topeka.
  Happy 100th birthday, Carl Nordstrom, and thank you for your service 
to Kansas.
