                      Thursday, February 12, 2009

  Mrs. SCHMIDT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of 
Kenneth P. Anstaett, a life-long resident of Clermont County who passed 
away on Wednesday, February 11th. Mr. Anstaett, known by many as Kenny 
was born on January 28, 1925 in the Ohio River community of Felicity. 
Kenny later moved and graduated from Owensville High School in 1942.
  After the completion of high school, Mr. Anstaett went on to serve 
our Nation in the United States Army achieving the rank of captain. He 
served tours in World War II and the Korean War. But Kenny's civic 
service did not end after his military career. Kenny was later elected 
to the Batavia Local School Board of Education, twice serving as 
president. He also served as president of the Batavia Rotary. As a 
lifelong and active Republican, he founded the Clermont County Young 
Republican Club with his wife Virginia. He was also an active member in 
the local chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3954 and 
American Legion Post 237.
  Kenny Anstaett also owned a small business for roughly 50 years, 
operating a farm service equipment company, a Dodge automobile 
dealership, and a gasoline service station.
  Madam Speaker, my thoughts and prayers go out to Kenneth's lovely 
wife Virginia, four children, and his many grandchildren and great-
grandchildren.
