  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Bob Price, who 
was named the Greater Pittston Sunday Dispatch's Person of the Year for 
2018. The Sunday Dispatch Person of the Year award recognizes the 
person who has had the greatest impact on life in the Greater Pittston 
area. Bob will be honored by the Sunday Dispatch and his community on 
May 8, 2018.
  Bob resides in Dupont, Pennsylvania with his wife of 28 years, Ellen. 
He is a 1979 graduate of Wyoming Area High School. After high school, 
Bob attended Penn State University and received degrees in Electrical 
Engineering and Telecommunications Technology. He currently works as 
the Regional Fleet Manager for Johnson Controls in Allentown.
  Bob is well known throughout the Greater Pittston Area for the active 
role he takes in his community. He currently serves as the president of 
the Dupont Borough Crime Watch and is a member of the Lions Club. Along 
with fifteen other volunteers, Bob formed the Progress Committee in 
2014 to schedule events throughout Dupont's centennial year. In 2017, 
Bob was a central figure in the actual planning of the Borough's 100th 
anniversary celebration. Bob is also involved with other local 
organizations such as Paint Pittston Pink, the Greater Pittston 
Cultural Coalition, Pittston Arts Council, and NEPA Inclusive. Bob is 
an accomplished photographer, and he can often be found at these events 
taking pictures.
  It is an honor to recognize Bob Price as he accepts the Person of the 
Year from the Greater Pittston Sunday Dispatch. I am grateful for all 
the work he has done on behalf of Dupont Borough and the Greater 
Pittston area. I wish him all the best and hope that he continues to 
inspire others with his charitable service to his community.
