                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 18, 2019

  Mr. MEUSER. Madam Speaker, it is with great admiration that I rise 
today to congratulate Ninth District Resident, Noble ``Bud'' Quandel of 
Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania on receiving the inaugural Founders 
Award from Geisinger Commonwealth Foundation.
  Mr. Quandel began his career as a laborer and apprentice while 
attending Bloomsburg University, since succeeding his father in 1976, 
he has served as Chairman and CEO of Quandel Enterprises. Although 
under his guidance, his business has experienced great success across 
the country, Mr. Quandel has remained a cornerstone of our community. 
Mr. Quandel has overseen significant Quandel projects throughout our 
community including Geisinger's Medical Sciences Building and the new 
Geisinger St. Luke's facility in Orwigsburg.
  Mr. Quandel has consistently demonstrated his commitment to being a 
good friend, businessman and neighbor. From producing ``quicklime'' for 
local building projects, Quandel later added consulting services and 
instituted an Employee Stock Ownership Program that gave all its 
employees a vested interest in the company's success.
  On behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives and the citizens of 
Pennsylvania's Ninth Congressional District, I ask my colleagues to 
join me in congratulating Noble ``Bud'' Quandel on this great honor and 
thank him for his commitment to the betterment of our community.
