       CONGRATULATIONS TO BOB McLIMANS OF WNDH ON HIS RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT E. LATTA

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, September 6, 2017

  Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Bob McLimans, a 
staple of the radio airwaves in Northwest Ohio for more than four 
decades. Bob has spent 44 years on the air and will be retiring on 
September 8. In addition to his on-air role, Bob has also served as the 
General Manager of the Napoleon-Defiance area for IHeart Media for the 
past 17 years.
  In addition to these two jobs, Bob has served as Chair of the 
Napoleon City Planning Commission for years and is active in his 
church.
  Bob's discussions on-air serve his local community and help bring 
important information to listeners. In fact, he was selected to the 
Henry County Ag Hall of Fame for his commitment to agriculture on the 
radio. He also introduced President Reagan when he campaigned in 
Deshler during the 1980's.
  Every weekday morning, from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. on 103.1 in Napoleon, 
you could listen to Bob discuss the local news, weather, sports, and 
more.
  Mr. Speaker, Northwest Ohio has been fortunate to have someone like 
Bob McLimans on the airwaves and serving our local communities for the 
past 44 years. I'd like to congratulate Bob on his retirement and wish 
him all the best in the years to come.
