                       Friday, February 24, 2012

  Mr. MARINO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of my constituent, Mr. 
Anthony Herzog, who will be honored this weekend for his dedication to 
the Wayne County community.
  Upon his graduation from Lackawanna Junior College and the University 
of New Haven, Mr. Herzog began his 33-year tenure with Herzog Trucking 
Co., Inc., where he ultimately served as President from 1982 2004.
  Until his retirement last year, Mr. Herzog was dedicated to serving 
his community honorably as a Wayne County Commissioner for the past 24 
years. His accomplishments as a Commissioner are too numerous to list, 
but Mr. Herzog has been instrumental in the completion of several major 
initiatives in Wayne County, including construction of the Wayne County 
Emergency Management Operations Center, the expansion of the Area 
Agency on Aging, and the creation of the Wayne County Mental Health/
Mental Retardation Agency.
  In 1998, Governor Tom Ridge appointed Mr. Herzog to the Pennsylvania 
Department of Transportation Advisory Committee. Mr. Herzog continues 
to serve in that capacity today.
  Mr. Herzog's local involvement includes organizations such as the 
Honesdale Lions Club, the Fraternal Order of Eagles, the Wayne County 
Family Center Board, the NEPA Alliance, and the Wayne County Board of 
Elections, where he serves as current Chairman. He is also an active 
member of St. John's and St. Mary's Parish.
  With his wife Sharon, Mr. Herzog is the father of two: Andrea and 
Steven, and the grandfather to three: Emma, Brady, and Heather.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my constituent, Mr. Anthony 
Herzog, and ask my colleagues to join me in praising his commitment to 
community, country, and family.
