                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 25, 2008

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize the retirement of 
Roger Allen at the Lennox Industries factory in Marshalltown, Iowa, and 
to express my appreciation for his dedication and commitment to the 
community, his co-workers and factory.
  For 50 years, Roger has worked in many roles for Lennox Industries, 
which manufactures and installs residential and commercial air 
conditioning and heating systems. His most recent job was as a material 
handler and forklift operator in several areas of cooling assembly and 
fabrication. Roger was known for his superb customer service, spotless 
accident record, reliable attendance, knowledge of the factory and 
upbeat personality around his co-workers each day.
  I know that my colleagues in the United States Congress join me in 
commending Roger Allen for his service to Lennox Industries and the 
Marshalltown, Iowa community. I consider it an honor to represent Roger 
in Congress, and I wish him and his wife Linda a long, happy and 
healthy retirement.
