  Mr. KANJORSKI. Madam Speaker, I rise today to ask you and my esteemed 
colleagues in the House of Representatives to pay tribute to Attorney

University School of Law. At Temple Law, he was a member of the Law 
Review, the Legal Aid Society and was named the Sylvan Balder Memorial 
Scholar.
  Attorney Keiser is a former examiner for the Pennsylvania Board of 
Law Examiners, where he wrote and graded Bar Examination questions in 
the areas of torts and evidence.
  He currently serves the Luzerne County Bar Association as Continuing 
Legal Education Chairman, an office he has held continuously since 
1991. Attorney Keiser is also frequently called upon to serve as a 
neutral arbitrator and he has been a lecturer in programs run by the 
Pennsylvania Bar Institute and the Luzerne County Bar Association.
  Attorney Keiser is solicitor for the Jackson Township Planning 
Commission and he is listed in the Martindale-Hubbell Bar Register of 
Preeminent Lawyers.
  In addition to having served as a Temple Israel board member and 
officer, Attorney Keiser has served terms on the boards of the Jewish 
Community Center, the Jewish Federation of Greater Wilkes-Barre and the 
Jewish Family Service. He has served several terms on the Federation 
Allocation Committee and is a past president of the United Hebrew

  Attorney Keiser is married to the former Lynn Kaufman, who is the 
owner/chef of Supreme Cuisine catering. They are the parents of 
Jonathan, OBM; Lauren, an implementation manager for a software 
development company and Daniel, a student at Connecticut College in New 
London, Connecticut.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in congratulating Attorney Keiser on 
this auspicious occasion. His leadership and commitment to Temple 
Israel has been an inspiration to all whose lives he has touched.
