  Mr. FERGUSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Richard A. 
Boiardo, for his dedicated efforts in service to New Jersey through his 
work in the medical field. Dr. Boiardo has been a practicing orthopedic 
surgeon in New Jersey since 1986.

Georgetown University in 1974. He went on to study medicine at the New 
York Medical College in Valhalla, New York, and completed his residency 
in orthopedic surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
  Currently, Dr. Boiardo serves as Chief of the Orthopedic Department 
at Saint Mary's Hospital, in Hoboken, New Jersey, and is on the 
orthopedic medical staff at several other hospitals in Passaic and 
Newark. He is a member of the Essex County Medical Society and the 
American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. And he is also the team 
surgeon for the Newark Bears, a minor league baseball team.
  The Columbian Foundation, a non-profit organization of business and 
professional men of Italian descent, will recognize Dr. Boiardo with a 
Humanitarian and Achievement Award on October 12.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to honor Dr. Boiardo today for his 
good works and providing New Jersey with his talent and service.
