              IN RECOGNITION OF BARRY CONWAY'S RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. FRANK C. GUINTA

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 28, 2012

  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, on September 30, 2012 Barry Conway will 
retire as Commandant of the New Hampshire State Veterans Home after 
forty years of faithful service in health care administration. Mr. 
Conway began his career as a Corpsman with the United Stated Air Force 
serving from 1960-1964. Soon after leaving the Air Force, he pursued 
his post secondary education in Rhode Island, before beginning his work 
in health care administration working in long-term care facilities, 
ambulatory care centers and hospitals.
  For the last twenty-three years, Mr. Conway has worked at the New 
Hampshire State Veterans Home, providing quality care and services to 
our state's aging and disabled veterans. Under his leadership the 
Veterans Home has become a sought after long-term care facility, 
focusing on the special needs of our veterans. The care provided to our 
veterans not only meets their specific challenges and needs, but honors 
both them and their service to our country.
  Mr. Conway has also shared his expertise and experience in caring for 
the elderly, frail, and disabled veterans as a member of many 
associations including the National Association of State Veterans 
Homes, American College of Health Care Administrators, New Hampshire 
Health Care Association, and the American Legion. He has served New 
Hampshire and its residents well, especially our veterans community, 
and he will be sorely missed when he leaves the Veterans Home.
  I congratulate Barry Conway on his well earned retirement and thank 
him for his outstanding support of our veterans here in New Hampshire. 
I wish both Barry and his wife Barbara continued success in their life 
together.
