                        HONORING DR. FRANK MELOY

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 5, 2013

  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the work of Dr. 
Frank Meloy and the positive impact he's had in Altoona and Logan 
Township in Blair County, Pennsylvania as both a professional educator 
and a dedicated public servant.
  Dr. Meloy is a retired administrator with the Altoona Area School 
District. During his 42 year tenure with the district, he rose from the 
ranks of Special Education Teacher to Assistant Superintendent--a 
position he held for twenty years.
  Dr. Meloy received his Bachelor of Science degree from Indiana 
University of Pennsylvania, a Master of Education degree from 
Pennsylvania State University and a Doctor of Education from Temple 
University.
  In addition to his esteemed career in education, Dr. Meloy has been 
an elected Supervisor in Logan Township since 1996. At the end of his 
current term in 2013, he will have served eighteen continuous years on 
the Township Board of Supervisors--the majority of those years as 
Chairman.
  Under Dr. Meloy's fiscal leadership, tax rates in Logan Township have 
remained among the lowest in the county, and he has saved his 
municipality thousands of dollars by refinancing several bond issues. 
He has been extremely instrumental in transforming the Township's 
system of fire protection into a modern, well-equipped and cost-
effective unit. Dr. Meloy also has been the Township's representative 
on numerous committees and boards during his term, and has been 
recognized for his active volunteerism by several community 
organizations including the PA Homeless Children's Initiative, the 
Blair Bedford Central Labor Council AFL-CIO, and the Kiwanis Club of 
Altoona.
  Dr. Meloy will be honored on December 12, 2013 at his last official 
meeting as a Township Supervisor. I congratulate him on this 
recognition, and thank him for his distinguished careers in education 
and public service.
