          TRIBUTE TO DAN ZENO ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT

                                 ______


                          HON. PAUL E. GILLMOR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 27, 1995
  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an 
outstanding individual and a good friend of Ohio, Dan Zeno, who is 
retiring on June 30, 1995, after a distinguished career with Ohio 
Edison.
  An Ohio native, Dan graduated from Toronto High School in Toronto, 
OH, and served as a sergeant in the United States Army in Korea from 
1950 to 1953. After the Army, Dan pursued a degree in finance at Kent 
State University. In 1961, he began a career in public service at the 
Akron Area Chamber of Commerce. While there, he was responsible for 
designing a financial plan enabling the city to participate in urban 
renewal projects of over $100 million.
  Before coming to Ohio Edison, Dan was director of finance for the 
city of Akron. As its chief financial officer and a member of the 
mayor's cabinet, he was responsible for long-range planning, budgeting, 
debt management and accountability of all city funds.
  Through the years Dan has been active in a variety of community and 
business groups. He is on the board of directors of the Ohio Chamber of 
Commerce, the board of trustees of the Ohio Public Expenditure Council, 
and a member of the Akron Regional Development Board Taxation Committee 
among others. In addition, he is a visiting lecturer at Akron 
University and involved with the Weathervane Community Playhouse.
  Mr. Speaker, it is obvious that the Akron community and the State of 
Ohio have benefited greatly from Dan's hard work and dedication over 
the years. His service is a model of citizenship. I ask my colleagues 
to join me today in wishing Dan Zeno and his wife June well as they 
begin this new chapter in their lives.
