             HONORING THE PUBLIC SERVICE OF G. IRENE SNYDER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JIM GERLACH

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, July 1, 2010

  Mr. GERLACH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a dedicated public 
servant who is retiring after a 40-year career as a rural carrier with 
the Glenmoore Post Office in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
  G. Irene Snyder started her career as a part-time carrier, serving 
residents in the Ludwig's Corner and Nantmeal Township areas. In a 
testament to her tireless work ethic, Irene held jobs as a bus driver 
and attendant at Ludwig's Gas Station in addition to her part-time mail 
delivery duties.
  She started delivering mail full-time in 1981 and earned a reputation 
among her co-workers as loyal, dedicated and committed to the U.S. 
Postal Service and the residents on her route. Irene was always willing 
to lend a helping hand at work and at her church, Nantmeal Methodist, 
where she served as an organist, and still found time for farming on 
her property in Honey Brook.
  Colleagues and friends will celebrate Irene's four decades of service 
and wish her well in retirement during a reception on July 1, 2010.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me today in praising the 
outstanding service of G. Irene Snyder and all public servants who go 
beyond what is expected to serve their communities.
