                         Thursday, May 14, 2015

  Ms. MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM of New Mexico. Mr. Speaker, I rise today 
to honor Harold Daum, an exceptional individual who has worked 
tirelessly to ensure vulnerable seniors receive essential legal 
services.
  It is with fond recollection that I remember my time working 
alongside Harold during the Legal Resources for the Elderly Program 
(LREP)'s infancy. His persona struck me instantly; Harold had this 
vibrant personality, determined fervor and you could sense that 
anything he undertook would feel the full weight of his energy.
  For over 27 years, as a retiree, Harold has committed himself to 
LREP. When seniors would call to inquire about the program Harold was 
the first to answer--he took in their concerns, assuaged their worries, 
and was instrumental in our commitment to guaranteeing seniors quality 
legal representation.
  Those at LREP will tell you that his vitality is endless, and his 
charismatic smile is a pleasant welcome for anyone coming into the 
office. Harold is a truly remarkable person and deeply loves his 
country and community. He can often be found sharing an exciting story 
about his service as a United States Navy medic during World War II.
  As Harold enters his retirement and we celebrate his contributions, 
we are reminded of the joy that he brings all of us. It is through 
Harold that we recognize the profound impact one individual can have on 
an entire community. I am honored to have had the opportunity to work 
with Harold--he is an inspiration to us all.
