  Mr. KEAN of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I rise to express my warmest 
wishes to Hobson Ellis Rodenbaugh in celebration of his 100th birthday.
  Hobson or Hobby as he is more affectionately known, was born in 
Hunterdon County on August 11, 1923. At 19, Hobby enlisted in the Army 
Signal Corps, serving in the Marshall Islands, Japan, and the 
Philippines during World War II. After being discharged, he came home 
to New Jersey where he married the Love of his life Virginia Mae Wands.
  Hobby continued to express his passion for service by serving on the 
Clinton Town Council and as Police Commissioner. In his retirement, 
Hobby joined the Union Township Senior Club of Hunterdon County and has 
served as both the Vice President and President of the organization. 
During his tenure Hobby has shared his passion for travel by arranging 
for the group to visit many locations around the country and the world.
  Mr. Speaker, it is individuals like Hobby who should inspire us all. 
I wish to convey our appreciation for his years of service to our 
country and community. May he continue to touch the lives of many for 
years to come.
