  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Kevin 
Shaughnessy, who will be honored as Man of the Year by the Ancient 
Order Hibernians Division 4, the Paul ``Hook'' O'Malley chapter, on 
Thursday, March 1. Kevin is a charter member of the AOH chapter named 
in memory of the late boxing trainer known for his charitable nature. 
The Man of the Year award is given to an individual who has worked to 
enrich the well-being of the community in the spirit of ``Hook'' 
O'Malley.
  Kevin is the son of Jack and Rose Shaughnessy. He is a graduate of 
West Scranton High School, class of 1988. Kevin currently serves as the 
Lackawanna County Director of Building and Grounds. In addition to his 
government position, he has served two three-year terms as an executive 
board member of the IBEW Local 81 and is a past delegate to the 
Scranton Central Labor Union. Along with his leadership roles in 
organized labor, Kevin is a member of the John Mitchell Man of the Year 
Committee.
  It is an honor to recognize Kevin as he receives the Man of the Year 
award from The Ancient Order of Hibernians. I am grateful for his 
efforts on behalf of the citizens of Lackawanna County and his 
colleagues within the labor community. I wish Kevin all the best as he 
continues to serve his neighbors with the generosity of ``Hook'' 
O'Malley.
