                  IN RECOGNITION OF CHIEF GLENN OLSON

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. WILLIAM R. KEATING

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 11, 2013

  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the distinguished 
career of Fire Chief Glenn Olson upon the occasion of his retirement 
from the Eastham Fire Department.
   Chief Olson has given over 3 decades of invaluable service to his 
community. I know I speak for many when I say that his outstanding 
achievements are evident in his distinguished career as a Firefighter 
and Paramedic in both the Hyannis and Eastham Fire Departments. The 
Eastham department recognized his skill and value when they appointed 
him to Shift Lieutenant in 1987. Chief Olson continued to honorably 
protect the people of both Hyannis and Eastham for 13 years until he 
was chosen as Fire Chief of the Eastham Department. On November 1st of 
this year, Chief Olson will retire having spent thirteen years as Fire 
Chief.
   Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor Fire Chief Glenn Olson upon his 
retirement from Eastham Fire Department after thirty-three years and 
eleven months of invaluable service. I ask that my colleagues join me 
in congratulating him on this important occasion and in thanking him 
for all that he has done for his community.
