               HONORING THE RETIREMENT OF WILLIAM McSHANE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GARY L. ACKERMAN

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 3, 2002

  Mr. ACKERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. William McShane, 
on the occasion of his retirement, from the Suffolk County Board of 
elections.
  For the past 30 years, Mr. McShane has tirelessly devoted himself to 
public service. He has most recently served as the campaign finance 
director of the Suffolk County Board of Elections. Previously, Mr. 
McShane worked for a member of the legislature before running for 
office himself.
  Mr. McShane is a veteran of the Army Air Force who has served both 
his country and the state of New York well. As a Bronx native, the 
former owner of a small business in Nassau County and a longtime member 
of the Deer Park Community, Mr. McShane embodies the true spirit of a 
New Yorker.
  His professional achievements are more than matched by his personal 
success. His lovely wife, Anne, is a retired school teacher. Together, 
they raised 5 beautiful children and have been blessed with six amazing 
grandchildren.
  I am proud to recognize such an accomplished individual and commend 
Mr. McShane for his dedication and service to his community. I ask my 
colleagues in the House of Representatives to please join me in wishing 
William McShane many years of success as he celebrates his well 
deserved retirement.
