                        Monday, February 5, 2018

  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate constituent Dr. 
Allen ``Doc'' Dimon on his one-hundredth birthday and to recognize his 
important service to our local community and the entire country.
  A lifelong resident of Waverly, New York, Dr. Dimon served in the 
United States Army Medical Corps during World War II and was deployed 
in France. After the war, Dr. Dimon went to work as an optometrist and 
continued to serve his community in that role for fifty years. At age 
fifty, he earned his pilot's license and continued to fly into his 
seventies.
  Dr. Dimon served on the boards of Guthrie Clinic/Robert Packer 
Hospital and the old Tioga General Hospital as well as the Waverly 
School Board. He is a current member of Rotary International, the 
Salvation Army, the Red Cross, the Methodist Church in Waverly, and is 
the founding member of the ``ROMEO'' (Retired Old Men Eating Out) group 
at Becky's Diner in Waverly.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Dr. Allen Dimon on 
his one-hundredth birthday and wishing him continued happiness and 
success in the years to come.
