                         HON. WILLIAM L. OWENS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 31, 2011

  Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Leonard Snow, who 
will turn 100 years old on September 14, 2011.
  Mr. Snow was born in Au Sable Forks, New York, and has spent a 
lifetime giving back to his community and the nation as a whole. He 
enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in the Pacific Theatre of World 
War II, helping to defend America and its allies in armed conflict.
  Upon his return, Leonard took his gift for public service back to his 
hometown, serving as the Director of Head Start for Essex and Clinton 
counties, and also working on the Au Sable School Board for almost four 
decades. However, Mr. Snow's greatest source of pride is his three 
children, Stephen, Christine and Patricia.
  Mr. Snow sets a fine example for everyone in the North Country. 
Through a focus on education, community service and strong family 
bonds, we can overcome many of the challenges that face the region.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Leonard Snow for his 100th 
birthday later this year, and I would like to again thank him for his 
service to the nation and his community.
