                 HONORING GEORGE QUIER'S 100TH BIRTHDAY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JIM GERLACH

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, February 22, 2010

  Mr. GERLACH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor George Quier, a 
Southeastern Pennsylvania resident and dedicated volunteer celebrating 
his 100th birthday.
  George remains an extremely active member of the Independent Order of 
Odd Fellows Lodge #57 in Norristown, Pennsylvania. His roots in the Odd 
Fellows organization run deep, as George, and his 103-year-old brother, 
Calvin, were raised in the Odd Fellows Philadelphia orphanage.
  And George, who bravely served our country in the Army for 22 years, 
has been a member of the Odd Fellows for more than 80 years. To this 
day, he faithfully fulfills the Odd Fellows pledge to visit the sick 
and relieve the distressed by volunteering seven hours per day, five 
days per week at Mercy Suburban Hospital.
  Friends and members of the Odd Fellows Lodge #57 who cherish George's 
companionship and commitment to the organization will celebrate his 
remarkable personal milestone during a dinner at P.J. Whelihans in 
Whitpain Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, on February 22, 
2010.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring George 
Quier for his tremendous volunteer spirit and in wishing him a very 
happy 100th birthday. He is an inspiration to all.
