                          HONORING AL MOLITOR

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JOSEPH M. HOEFFEL

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 26, 2000

  Mr. HOEFFEL. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize the outstanding 
achievements of an extraordinary man, Al Molitor. For 35 years, Mr. 
Molitor has served in the administration of public health and welfare 
programs for non-profit organizations and the Commonwealth of 
Pennsylvania. In addition, the contributions he has made within the 
Montgomery County community and particularly the Abington-Rockledge 
Democratic Committee are invaluable.
  Al earned his bachelor of arts from Temple University and continued 
his studies at the Bryn Mawr School of Social Work and Research where 
he received his master of social service degree. Al has held leadership 
positions in state public health and social work professional 
associations. He has served on the Abington Township Library Board, in 
parent-teacher organizations and the Boy Scouts. He also organized the 
Old York Road Genealogical Society, and served as its president for 
nearly 4 years.
  Al has been a prominent figure within the Abington-Rockledge 
Democratic Committee for a number of years and became chairman in 1994. 
He also served as chair of the Montgomery County Voter Registration 
Drive from 1992-1994. His work within the Democratic community in 
Montgomery County is unparalleled and much appreciated. With a solid 
Republican background, Al found himself as a non-partisan when the 
moved to Abington in 1958, but quickly found a home within the 
Democratic community in Montgomery County. In spite of an extremely 
busy public life, Al remains devoted to his family. He and his wife, 
Natalie, have two children, Elizabeth and Steve, and three 
grandchildren.
  It is an honor and a privilege to acknowledge the dedication and 
contributions of Al Molitor who has served his community well.
