                         HONORING JUDGE DRAYER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JIM GERLACH

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 16, 2009

  Mr. GERLACH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Honorable 
Calvin S. Drayer Jr. who is retiring after faithfully serving the 
people of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, as a Common Pleas Court 
Judge since 1998.
  Before joining the Montgomery County Court, Judge Drayer had a 
distinguished legal career that spanned nearly 30 years. He was a 
founding partner in the Norristown-based firm of Wilson, Drayer, Morrow 
and Broderick where he concentrated on estates and trust law.
  Despite his demanding career and heavy caseload, Judge Drayer has 
always been generous with his time and talent outside the courtroom. He 
is a Fellow of the American College of Trusts and Estate Counsel and a 
member of both the Supreme Court Orphans' Court Procedural Rules 
Committee and the Pennsylvania Joint State Government Commission 
Advisory Committee on Descedents' Estates. Judge Drayer also was an 
organizer of the probate and Tax Section of the Montgomery County Bar 
Association and an adjunct professor in the graduate tax program at the 
Villanova University School of Law.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me today in recognizing 
the outstanding service and extraordinary career of the Honorable 
Calvin S. Drayer Jr. and all who dedicate their careers to the pursuit 
of justice.
