  Mr. HOEFFEL. Mr. Speaker, today I congratulate Mr. Bob Willard for 50 
years of service on the active crew of the Glenside Fire Company. Mr. 
Willard joined the fire department in 1949 and quickly rose up through 
the ranks. In less than 5 years, Mr. Willard was promoted to 
lieutenant. Four years later he moved up to captain. He served as 
captain for a year and was then elected deputy chief. Mr. Willard 
served as deputy chief for 17 years, tying the company record. He has 
also served as the company's vice president for the past 25 years.
  I am proud to have such a civic minded and hard-working constituent 
in the community. As a leader in the Glenside Fire Department, Mr. 
Willard has impacted the lives of countless individuals. The residents 
of Glenside have long benefited from his service and that of the entire 
Glenside Fire Department. I applaud the


Glenside Fire Department for honoring Mr. Willard and I 
enthusiastically concur with their recognition of his leadership.
