WHEREAS, Jane E. Ogletree, the respected longtime registrar of voters for the City of Colonial Heights, retired on August 31, 2007, after 43 years of outstanding service to her community and the Commonwealth; and

WHEREAS, Jane Ogletree first began working for the registrar's office in 1964, when her father-in-law held the office, and she took over the post in 1973; and

WHEREAS, an experienced and conscientious administrator, Jane Ogletree has meticulously served the citizens of Colonial Heights with great patience and skill; and

WHEREAS, a dedicated and enthusiastic public servant, Jane Ogletree has seen the recording of votes on election day evolve from paper ballots that volunteers counted and bundled with string to the new touchscreen voting machines that are tallied by a computer program; and

WHEREAS, receiving constant praise and accolades over the years from her fellow citizens, as well as her colleagues, Jane Ogletree has been instrumental in the superior and smooth operation of the registrar's office in Colonial Heights for many years; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the General Assembly commend Jane E. Ogletree on her 43 years of effective leadership and outstanding service as longtime registrar of voters for the City of Colonial Heights; and, be it
