  Mr. MAFFEI. Madam Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge and honor the

Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers for 
over 35 years.
  Harold began his career in public service in 1957, when he was 
elected Village Trustee for the Village of Manlius. Prior to holding 
this position, he served a few years on the Village of Manlius Planning 
Board. In 1977, he was appointed Deputy Mayor of the Village of 
Manlius.
  During his illustrious career in public service, Harold has had an 
active roll in obtaining sanitary sewers for the Village, the planning

the Manlius Senior Centre, and starting the Parks and Recreation 
Advisory Board. Additionally, he also served as a member of the Manlius

community.
  Madam Speaker, I invite the House of Representatives to join me in

Jr. to Central New York.
