  Mr. NORCROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and commend Roland 
Traynor, Riverfront Stage Dedication.
  Roland Traynor served as the architect of Camden County's free summer 
concert series where he began as a laborer for the Camden County Parks 
Department in 1972. As the architect, Mr. Traynor has provided Camden 
County with decades of access to world-class artists across all genres 
of music.
  For the last 35 years, music has played a huge role in Roland's life. 
Although he retired in 2011, he is brought back each year as a 
consultant to help the county successfully carry-out the summer concert 
series. The series has been held at Cooper River Park in Pennsauken, 
New Jersey and at Haddon Lake Park in Haddon Heights, New Jersey.
  The Camden County Board of Commissioners dedicates the River Stage at 
Wiggins Waterfront Park in Camden, New Jersey in his

accessible to all residents of Camden County. His efforts as the 
architect of the summer concert series are fueled by his beliefs that

his time of retirement.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in honoring and commending Mr.
