John Joyce said "I rise to honor Jack Fields for more than 50 years of service to the borough of McConnellsburg in Fulton County, Pennsylvania. Jack recently retired as secretary and treasurer of the borough council, acting as borough manager and head of maintenance and permitting. Just 2 years after graduating from McConnellsburg High School, Jack was drafted in 1953 and served our country in the Korean war. When Jack was asked about his military service, he shared that he learned to depend on others and not to take anything for granted. Jack continued by encouraging others that "you must go after it yourself." What great advice. I express best wishes to Jack for a deserved retirement, and I thank him for his devotion to Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District and especially to beautiful Fulton County, Pennsylvania." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
