    HONORING FREDERICK COUNTY COMMONWEALTH ATTORNEY LAWRENCE AMBROGI

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. FRANK R. WOLF

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 1, 2007

  Mr. WOLF. Madam Speaker, it is my pleasure today to recognize 
Frederick County Commonwealth's Attorney Lawrence R. Ambrogi on the 
occasion of his retirement after nearly four decades of public service.
  It has come to my attention that Larry will not be seeking re-
election in November and I want to take this opportunity to recognize 
his decorated career. A graduate of American University Law and 
Randolph Macon College, Larry was appointed as the county commonwealth 
attorney in 1969 and elected in 1971. As the third longest serving 
attorney in the history of the Commonwealth, Larry is highly respected 
member of the law enforcement community and has received numerous 
awards and recognition for his work. Larry has dedicated his 
professional life to public service and will be sorely missed by 
Frederick County and the Shenandoah Valley community as a whole.
  Larry is a man of high moral character, a true Virginia gentleman, 
family man, and loyal friend. I would be remiss today if I didn't also 
recognize Larry's dedication to his wife, Carole, and how proud he is 
of their children, Lawrence and Elaine, and their many grandchildren. I 
suspect that as Larry prepares for retirement he is looking forward to 
spending more time with his family. I ask that my colleagues in the 
House rise today and join with me in recognizing the outstanding career 
of Lawrence Ambrogi.
