                        HON. BENJAMIN L. CARDIN

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 9, 1999

  Mr. CARDIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my good friend Ned 
Malone who has dedicated his life to improving our community and who 
has had a distinguished career in public service as a member of the 
Maryland House of Delegates and as Baltimore County Sheriff.
  Those who know Ned well, know one thing about him: that he is a 
fireman at heart. That is why I am so pleased that on Feb. 13 he will 
be honored for his 45 years of dedicated service to the Arbutus 
Volunteer Fire Department. During that time, Ned has served as the Fire 
Department's president, captain, and a member of the Board of 
Directors.
  Ned also has had a distinguished career in Annapolis. From 1967-1978, 
he was a member of the House of Delegates, serving as Chairman of the 
Baltimore County delegation and as Vice Chairman of the powerful 
Economic Matters Committee.
  In 1984, Ned was appointed Sheriff of Baltimore County by Gov. Harry 
Hughes. Serving as Sheriff from 1984-1990, Ned worked hard to ensure 
the safety and well-being of all Baltimore County residents. Ned is 
currently with the state's Mass Transit Administration.
  Ned was born in Elkridge, MD, in 1927 and has spent much of his life 
in Arbutus, MD. He was Manager of Personnel Services for the Western 
Maryland Railway Co., and served with distinction in the U.S. Army from 
1950-1952. Ned has been married to the lovely Margaret June Malone for 
43 years and together they raised four wonderful children.
  I urge my colleagues to join me in congratulating Ned Malone on his 
45 years as a dedicated member of the Arbutus Volunteer Fire 
Department, and on his distinguished career in public service. Ned's 
passion for helping others and his dedication to improving our 
community is hard to match. I am honored to call him a friend.
