                        HON. WILLIAM D. DELAHUNT

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 9, 2008

  Mr. DELAHUNT. Madam Speaker, I rise today so that my colleagues in 
the House of Representatives can join me in honoring an esteemed member 
of the legal profession, dedicated community activist, and a 
constituent of mine, Mr. Walter Howard Mayo, III.
  For nearly 30 years, Howard has led a distinguished career as 
Managing Partner of Casner & Edwards, LLP, bringing his invaluable 
expertise in civil litigation, estate planning, and telecommunications 
law to the greater Boston area. Prior to joining the firm, Howard 
served as an appellate attorney with the Federal Maritime Commission 
here in Washington, followed by a position as Chief of the 
Administrative Division within the Massachusetts Attorney General's 
office. No matter the challenge, Howard has risen to the occasion. His 
astute knowledge, wisdom, and high work ethic have earned him the 
respect and praise of colleagues and clients alike.
  As a resident of Orleans, Howard has donated admirable time and 
effort to enriching the civic and cultural fabric of our Commonwealth. 
Most notably, he has served as both Secretary and Vice President of the 
Board of Governors of the Handel & Haydn Society, a nationally 
acclaimed orchestral and choral performing arts organization based out 
of Boston. Howard has also been active in numerous historical 
societies, genealogical associations, and charitable organizations--a 
testament of his strong commitment to improving his community.
  On behalf of all those whose lives Howard has touched over the years, 
I want to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank him for his 
hard work and service. As he closes out this chapter of his career, I 
have every confidence that he will meet success in all his future 
endeavors.
