                       Thursday, December 9, 2010

  Mrs. EMERSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Penzel 
Construction Company in Jackson, Missouri on their 100th anniversary.
  Penzel Construction has earned a strong reputation as an honest, 
reliable and loyal company. Over the years, Penzel Construction has 
constructed homes, schools, churches, roads, bridges and factories. 
More recently, Penzel Construction has done more highway work and also 
taken on more prestigious building projects like the 13-story Hirsch 
Tower housing KFVS Television in Cape Girardeau. It has been impressive 
to watch as Penzel has worked to attract new industry enabling them to 
expand and create new opportunities.
  The high standard set by earlier generations as they built Penzel 
Construction Company has been maintained and improved upon by today's 
generation. Penzel Construction has provided an example to all 
entrepreneurs on how a successful company should operate. They operate 
with the highest integrity when dealing with their customers and their 
own employees. Their success and commitment to community has had a 
profound effect on the entire Southeast Missouri region.
  Madam Speaker, it is a great privilege to honor Penzel Construction 
on their 100th anniversary. I congratulate the entire Penzel family on 
this occasion and wish them many more years of success.
