                     TRIBUTE TO FRED J. LOGAN, JR.

 Mr. MORAN. Mr. President, today, I would like to recognize a 
fellow Kansan and friend Fred J. Logan, Jr., for dedicating his 
professional and personal life to representing and serving the people 
of Kansas and congratulate him on his retirement.
  Fred spent most of his childhood in Indianapolis and earned both his 
bachelor's degree and juris doctorate from the University of Indiana. 
During his time in law school, Fred served as a law clerk to Lawrence 
County, Indiana Circuit Court Judge H. Wayne Baker.
  Through this experience, Fred developed his passion for public 
service through practicing law. After receiving his law degree, he 
later moved to Overland Park, KS, and remained a resident of Johnson 
County for over 50 years.
  For the past 39 years, Fred has represented clients, advised regional 
businesses, and served as council for various local government entities 
as a partner of Logan, Logan & Watson, a firm that he originally 
founded with his brother Scott.
  Fred's longest client was the Johnson County Library, for which he 
oversaw the negotiations of the library's governance structure and 
contributed to the successful growth of the library system across the 
Johnson County area. In addition to his time practicing law, Fred has 
dedicated much of his personal life giving back to his local and State 
community, serving on numerous boards across a variety of disciplines.
  One issue Fred is keenly passionate about is advancing educational 
success in his community. Fred has served as vice chair of the Greater 
Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, chairman of the Johnson County 
Community College Board of Trustees, and vice president of the Johnson 
County Community College Foundation. He also served as the chair of the 
Kansas Board of Regents alongside my wife Robba. Fred has been a member 
of the University of Kansas Dole Institute of Politics Advisory Board 
and the Shawnee Mission School District Committee for Excellence, just 
to name a few.
  Fred has not only been a champion for education, he also has 
dedicated much of his time to community service, serving as the 
president of the United Community Services and Friends of Johnson 
County Library and a board member and youth coach of the Great American 
Basketball League.
  Throughout his career, Fred has earned a reputation as a mentor and a 
problem solver who has strived and succeeded in bettering his community 
and leaving a positive impact on everyone he meets.
  I have also had the pleasure of getting to know Fred's son Andy who, 
like his father, has dedicated much of his life in service to Kansans. 
Andy was one of the first members of my team when I entered the Senate 
back in 2011, assisting and advising me on healthcare and education 
issues. Andy

has continued to follow in his father's footsteps, practicing law and 
working as a partner for Logan, Logan & Watson.
  While he may not originally be from Kansas, we are proud to claim 
Frank as one of our own. After an impressive career and decades of 
service, I want to congratulate Frank on his retirement and thank him 
for his service to Kansans.
