  Mr. KANJORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased today to have the 
opportunity to recognize the accomplishments of a highly respected 
leader and my personal friend, John M. Randolph, Jr. Mr. Randolph will 
be honored by the Wilkes-Barre community on February 19 at the 
prestigious Lincoln Day Dinner sponsored by the B'nai B'rith S.J. 
Strauss Lodge.
  Mr. Randolph, a graduate of King's College, is a senior partner in 
the accounting firm of Parente, Randolph, Orlando, Carey and 
Associates, which is the 25th largest CPA firm in the United States. It 
has 10 offices in Pennsylvania, and employs a professional staff of 
more than 300 employees.
  A frequent speaker for professional and community service groups, 
John has often shared his financial expertise with the community. The 
list of his personal and professional affiliations and memberships is 
long and impressive. It includes a seat on the board of trustees of 
College Misericordia where he served as the vice-chairman of the board 
and chairman of the finance committee. Currently he is serving as 
trustee emeritus. He has served from 1989 to 1990 as a trustee for 
Keystone Junior College; he is a current trustee of King's College and 
sits on the Wilkes University Presidents Council.
  John came to Wilkes-Barre in 1959 to attend King's College and made 
the Wyoming Valley his home. He and his wife, Sharon, are the proud 
parents of two sons, John III, a second-year law student, and Scott, 
who attends Wilkes University.
  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to join with the Strauss Lodge in honoring 
John Randolph, Jr., for his dedication to his profession and to his 
community. I applaud the lodge's choice of John Randolph as this year's 
recipient of this prestigious award.
