  Mr. HOEFFEL. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize Mr. Harold Praediger, who 
is retiring as Borough Council President of Rockledge in Montgomery 
County, Pennsylvania.
  Mr. Praediger has been a resident of Rockledge for 45 years and has 
contributed years of extraordinary service to his community. He has 
been a member of the Borough Council for more than 14 years where he 
served as Recreation Chairman, Vice President and currently as 
President. As President, Mr. Praediger has played an integral role in 
kicking off the new Municipal Building project that is scheduled to 
break ground next year.
  A graduate of Abington High School, Mr. Praediger resigned as the 
Head of Maintenance at Jeanes Hospital in Philadelphia and is now a co-
owner of Acker's Hardware. He and his wife, Linda, have three children: 
Michael, Steven and Leigh Anne.
  It is a privilege to acknowledge the achievements of Mr. Harold 
Praediger. The entire Rockledge community has benefited from his 
leadership and fellowship. I join the Borough Council in congratulating 
him on his many years of exemplary service.
