  Mr. HIGGINS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the public career 
of one of the Town of Boston's most revered leaders, Town Councilman 
Dennis Mead.
  For twelve years, Dennis faithfully represented the Town of Boston, 
serving with unwavering work ethic and a steadfast commitment to his 
town's progress. Dennis served honorably as the voice of the people of 
his community and his service has been a model for others to follow.
  Although Dennis will no longer serve on the Boston Town Board come 
January 1, 2008, there can be no question that his heart lies in his 
hometown, and his commitment to the town's future will remain 
steadfast. Madam Speaker, I want to thank you for this opportunity to 
Dennis Mead in this manner, and I know that you join me and the rest of 
our colleagues in wishing Dennis the best of luck and Godspeed in all 
of his future endeavors.
