  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory of Rodney D. Hanson, who 
passed away on February 22, 2000. Rodney was born on June 24, 1945, the 
son of Harry R. and Doris A. Hanson.
  Rodney was a graduate of Hamline University in St. Paul, MN, and 
later received a masters of arts degree in English from Ohio 
University. He received his juris doctorate degree from the Ohio State 
University College of Law. Rodney was a partner in the law firm of 
Thomas, Fregata, Myser, Hanson and Davis. Rodney also worked hard to 
serve the community. He was a member of St. Mary's Church in St. 
Clairsville, where he served as a lector. He was also a member of the 
Knights of Columbus and the St. Clairsville Sunrise Rotary Club. Rodney 
served as a trustee and president of the board of the Belmont-Harrison 
Juvenile District. He further served the public as a member and past 
president of the Belmont County Bar Association and a member of the 
Ohio State Bar Association in which he was a member of the School Law 
and Law Library Committees.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege for me to pay my last respects to a 
gentleman who gave so much of himself to his community, his church, and 
his family. Rodney will be missed by all whose lives he touched. I am 
honored to have represented him and proud to have been able to call him 
a friend.
