                         Tuesday, June 21, 2011

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Kenneth A. Lanci who 
is being honored as a 2011 Father of the Year by the Father's Day 
Council of Northeastern Ohio and the American Diabetes Association.
  Mr. Lanci, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated 
Graphics Group, Inc., is also the Chairman of Project Love and Purple 
America. While Consolidated Graphics, Inc. is a leader in graphic art 
technology, Purple America is a leader in uniting Americans through 
shared values. Its mission is to create new forums to share beliefs, 
engage young people in meaningful dialogue, and connect all Americans 
through shared American ideals. Purple Love is a character-building 
program that has trained thousands of American teens and their 
educators to build a culture of kindness, caring and respect in their 
schools.
  Mr. Lanci has also brought OneSight to Cleveland's Municipal School 
District, a non-profit organization which has given free eye exams and 
eye glasses to thousands of children in the area.
  Mr. Lanci's good work extends to his family as well. Mr. Lanci is a 
devoted husband to his high school sweetheart, father to his three 
children, and grandfather to his six grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honoring Kenneth Lanci, 
a man of great honor and spirit, a wonderful husband, father and 
grandfather, on the occasion being recognized as Father's Day Council's 
Father of the Year 2011.
