TRIBUTE TO HENRY WARD JANDL
Mr. JOHNSTON. Mr. President, I rise today to report to the Senate the sad news of the loss of one of our Nation's preeminent historic preservation professionals, Henry Ward Jandl, who died unexpectedly on Saturday, March 18, at George Washington University Hospital.
I came to know and respect Ward Jandl's fine work through many years of involvement in historic preservation legislation through the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources as well as through my own personal interest, and that of my wife Mary, in historic preservation in Louisiana.
Ward Jandl graduated from the Hotchkill School in 1964 and Yale University in 1968. He spent 2 years in the Peace Corps teaching English in Ankara, Turkey. In 1971, he received a Graduate Certificate in Historic Preservation from Columbia University while working at the New York Public Library.
A resident of the District of Columbia since 1974, Ward's entire professional career was spent in the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. He began as an architectural historian at the National Register of Historic Places. At the time of his death, he was Chief Appeals Officer, Cultural Resources, and Deputy Chief, Preservation Division.
For his dedicated service to historic preservation, Ward received several honors from the Department of the Interior. In addition to being a valued policymaker, Ward coauthored two books: Houses by Mail: A Guide to Houses from Sears, Roebuck and Co., in 1986, and Yesterday's Houses of Tomorrow: Innovative Homes: 1850-1950, in 1991.
Mr. President, Ward Henry Jandl accomplished many things in his relatively brief, but filled career and has left a legacy for our Nation to follow as we attempt to preserve our past in preparation for brighter days ahead. I hope this legacy will help ease the loss of his passing for his father, Henry Anthony Jandl of Richmond, VA, and his sister, Margaret Marie Jandl of Cambridge, MA, to whom I extend my most sincere condolences.
