  Mr. JOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I would like to acknowledge Mr. John Elias 
for his service to Pinellas County as a town attorney for Belleair 
Shores for 18 years.
  Mr. Elias has worked for Belleair Shores since 1998. When he started, 
he was hired on a six-month trial period. Because of his exemplary 
work, his trial period was extended and he worked for the town for 18 
years. He has proudly served Belleair Shores and its residents.
  Mr. Elias is retiring in July after his years of service. He is known 
for his dedication and high morals and serves as a role-model for the 
town. I ask this body to join me thanking John for his service to us, 
and wishing him the best of luck in the future.
