  Mr. STARK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to John H. Weed 
upon his retirement from the Ohlone College Board of Trustees in 
Fremont, California. Mr. Weed attended his final board meeting on 
November 10, 2010. First elected in 1977, he served on the Board of 
Trustees for 33 years.
  Mr. Weed holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and Juris 
Doctor of Law degree from the University of Santa Clara. He received a 
Master of Business Administration in Finance from Eastern New Mexico 
University. He was a Graduate Research Associate in Agricultural 
Economics and a graduate student with the Department of Hydrology and 
Water Resources at the University of Arizona.
  He has been an elected director of the Alameda County Water District 
since November 1995. Since 1990, Mr. Weed has served as a Director of 
the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency and Regional 
Financial Authority, representing customers of the Hetch Hetchy Water 
System.
  Mr. Weed is a member of Rotary International, and he has been or is 
currently involved in myriad civic activities, which include the 
Alameda County Bicentennial Commission, the city of Fremont Historical 
Architectural Review Board, State of California Heritage Task Force, 
Association of Water Agencies, Washington Township Historical Society, 
the Alameda County Library System, and the City of Fremont's Regulatory 
Review Commission.
  I wish John Weed all the best upon his retirement from the Ohlone 
College Board of Trustees. Mr. Weed describes the heart of Ohlone 
College as ``the wonderful service it provides the community.'' I join 
the community in thanking him for his three decades of service, and 
appreciating him for a job well done.
