  Mr. BARLETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Duane G. Duncan of 
Carlisle, Pennsylvania who was inducted into the National 4-H Hall of 
Fame this year.
  Mr. Duncan became an active participant in 4-H at the age of 12 and 
continued to contribute to the organization while attending college at 
Penn State University. After graduating from Penn State in 1958, he 
worked in Adams County as an Assistant County Agent where he continued 
to collaborate with 4-H. In 1967, Mr. Duncan was promoted to Cumberland 
County Extension Director. He continued to work with 4-H horse and 
dairy programs until retiring in 2003 after 45 years of service.
  Throughout his many years with 4-H, Mr. Duncan has demonstrated 
leadership and dedication to both the organization and his community. 
He served as Secretary of the Pennsylvania Junior Dairy Show from 1972 
to 1991 and was honored for his lifetime commitment at the 50th annual 
show in 2005. In 1974, he established the position of Superintendent of 
the All American Dairy Show 4-H and FFA Youth Dairy Forum, and he 
continues to fulfill those duties to this day. Additionally, he has 
served as treasurer of the PA 4-H Horse Program Development Committee 
since 1980, is on the Board of Directors of Therapeutic Riding 
Association of Cumberland County for handicapped children, and is a 
liaison to the Carlisle Rotary Club.
  Mr. Speaker, for his outstanding service to both 4-H and the Carlisle 
community, I commend Mr. Duane G. Duncan and wish him the best of luck 
in his future endeavors.
