  Mr. TONKO. Madam Speaker, residents of New York's Capital Region have 
been blessed to wake up each morning to the voice of longtime radio 
host Don Weeks. Since 1980, Don has hosted the WGY morning radio show, 
entertaining listeners with a mix of comedy and insightful interviews, 
all delivered with a friendly, neighborly charm.
  Throughout the years Don has always put the community first, lending 
his talent to local fund drives and other special events, from re-
stocking food pantries to emceeing the annual Red Cross Hometown Heroes 
Awards breakfast. He has been honored with several New York State 
Broadcaster of the Year awards, and a Marconi Award from the National 
Association of Broadcasters.
  We'd like to congratulate Don on the recent announcement that he will 
be inducted into the New York State Broadcasting Hall of Fame. It is a 
fitting honor for a lifelong Capital Region resident who has dedicated 
his life to informing and entertaining others, and making our community 
a better place in which to live.
