than twenty-three years, and during his tenure, he was 18
instrumental in restoring and transforming the Ohio Departments 19
Building into the Ohio Judicial Center. Through his unwavering 20
dedication to excellence, he certainly distinguished himself as a 21
conscientious and hard-working Ohioan, and his exceptional record 22
of personal and professional achievement stands as a hallmark 23
worthy of emulation; and24

       WHEREAS,  Over the years, the Ohio Judicial Center has 25
enhanced the quality of life in our society, and it has earned a 26
prominent place in Ohio history. This well-known structure has 27

that in the years to come, it will continue to be a symbol of the 29
tenets of Ohio's judicial system; therefore be it30
