                        Monday, February 6, 2017

  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize my constituent, 
Michele Y. Evans, for her recent retirement from the Government 
Publishing Office after 29 years of service. Ms. Evans began her career 
at GPO in October 1987 as a Supply Clerk in the Springbelt Warehouse in 
Springfield, Virginia. In 1991, she became a Micrographics Tech and in 
1993 she was promoted to Supervisory Micrographics Tech before 
eventually assuming the position of Publications Manager Specialist.
  In 2004, Michele joined the Apprenticeship Program, which trained her 
as Printer, Proofer, and Journey Person. In 2006, after graduating from 
the Apprenticeship program, Michele went to work in the proof room, 
where she worked in copy/mark-up and night side/bill end. In 2010, 
Michele was selected for the GPO detailee program, and was attached to 
the Office of the Clerk, Office of Legislative Operations, House 
Enrolling section. Her dedication and disposition made her a perfect 
fit for the section, and her attention to detail and years of 
experience made Michele an invaluable member of the enrolling team.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Ms. 
Evans on her retirement and in thanking her for her years of service to 
this chamber as she returns to her hometown of Jacksonville, North 
Carolina to start the next chapter of her life.
