[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 154 (2008), Part 13] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page 17921] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]TRIBUTE TO BOB OWENS ______ HON. TOM LATHAM of iowa in the house of representatives Thursday, July 31, 2008 Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate Bob Owens of Jefferson, Iowa, on earning the Meritorious Achievement Award of 2008. Bob Owens is a consul and charter member for the Greene County chapter of the Lincoln Highway Association. He is one of the original 43 members who met in 1992 in Ogden, Iowa, to recognize the National Lincoln Highway Association for the first time since 1915. Today, the national organization has over 1,900 members due in no small part to the dedication and commitment Bob has given to the organization. I know that my colleagues in the United States Congress join me in commending Bob Owens for his leadership and dedication to representing Iowa in the Lincoln Highway Association. I consider it an honor to reprent Bob and his family in Congress, and I wish him the best in his future endeavors. ____________________
