                            BARRY E. CONWAY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. FRANK C. GUINTA

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 5, 2012

  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, at the end of 2012 Barry Conway will retire 
as Commandant of the New Hampshire State Veterans Home after forty 
years of faithful service in health care administration. Mr. Conway 
began his career as a Corpsman with the United States Air Force serving 
from 1960-1964. Soon after leaving the Air Force, he pursued his post-
secondary education in Rhode Island, before beginning his work in 
health care administration working in long-term care facilities, 
ambulatory care centers and hospitals.
  For the last twenty-three years, Mr. Conway has worked at the New 
Hampshire State Veterans Home, providing quality care and services to 
our states aging and disabled veterans. Under his leadership the 
Veterans Home has become a sought after long-term care facility, 
focusing on the special needs of our veterans. The care provided to our 
veterans not only meets their specific challenges and needs, but

honors both them and their service to our country.
  Mr. Conway has also shared his expertise and experience in caring for 
the elderly, frail, and disabled veterans as a member of many 
associations including the National Association of State Veterans Home, 
American College of Health Care Administrators, New Hampshire Health 
Care Association, and the American Legion. He has served New Hampshire 
and its residents well, especially our veterans community, and he will 
be sorely missed when he leaves the Veterans Home.
  I congratulate Barry Conway on his well earned retirement and thank 
him for his outstanding support of our veterans here in New Hampshire. 
I wish both Barry and his wife Barbara continued success in their life 
together.
