                         RECOGNIZING MARK LUSK

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Lycoming County Sheriff Mark Lusk, who retired Monday after 50 years of 
outstanding community service.
  Mark was elected as Lycoming County sheriff in 2009 and served in 
this role for four consecutive terms. Over his 50-year career, Mark has 
held a variety of positions, including patrolman, criminal 
investigator, corporal, chief of police, and deputy coroner.
  Mark's leadership has been pivotal, and he was responsible for many 
rescue operations when the county experienced major floods.
  Beyond his role as sheriff, Mark has volunteered for the Old Lycoming 
Township Volunteer Fire Company for 45 years. He has also worked 
alongside the local VFW and American Legion.
  Mark has received various awards for his leadership over his career. 
In 2007, he was recognized by the Lycoming County Department of Public 
Safety and the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives.
  Mr. Speaker, Mark has dedicated his career to serving the community 
and answering the call of those in need. I thank him for his service, 
and I wish him the very best.
