House Resolution No. 4689 was adopted.
Mr. Speaker: I wish to take a personal privilege and share a couple of pieces of information with the members. We will be having a Medal of Merit honor ceremony in the next few weeks. One of the people chosen to receive the medal of Merit, which is one of the highest honors the State of Washington can bestow upon a citizen, was Stanley McNaughton. Unfortunately, Stanley passed away before he could receive that award. I mentioned to some people who knew him well, that I was disappointed, I would have appreciated letting him know that the people respected him for all he has done. I would like to share just one story, and we probably will be getting more when we have the award ceremonies because his family will still receive the award.
It is a story of an employee who was working for PEMCO Corporation. The employee had an accident and ended up paralyzed. A lot of employers would say, 'Well, you have insurance and you have this and you have that.' Stanley McNaughton went to the individual while he was in the hospital and said, "The first thing I want to tell you is not to worry. Your job is still there, your family is taken care of, don't worry". Then they purchased a van and gave it to him. It was especially equipped after he was out of the hospital so he could communicate. This was several years ago and they set up a work station so this individual would be able to continue his employment. I'm sure as a bottom line decision, that decision did not pencil out. But I think that Stanley McNaughton was not in the bottom line financial. Stanley McNaughton was in the bottom line people. It reminded me that we need to say thank you to those people we appreciate on a daily basis because we never know when we are going to lose that opportunity.
There being no objection, the House advanced to the sixth order of business.
