                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 24, 2011

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to today to honor Mr. Robert 
Griffith who is retiring as the longest ever serving President of Woods 
Services in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
  Woods Services, located in Langhorne, Pennsylvania is a facility that 
provides a home environment for people with developmental disabilities, 
challenging behaviors and other special needs. Their approach is unique 
and their philosophy one of inclusion and caring. For nearly a century, 
they have held true to its original mission, ``To help each individual 
reach his or her highest level of achievement, whatever it may be.''
  For Woods and many of the people it serves this mission would not 
have been become a reality without the steady leadership of Robert 
Griffith.
  Robert has been an advocate for those with intellectual and 
developmental disabilities for nearly 35 years. During his tenure at 
Woods, both the physical facility and his positive impact on the 
community have grown immensely.
  I am proud to honor the tenure of Robert Griffith and continuing to 
support his work for the most vulnerable among us.
