Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to honor the life of Don Fowkes. Don, of Duncansville, Pennsylvania, passed away on February 15. A graduate of Hollidaysburg High School, Don joined the Allegheny Township Police Department in 1968 and honorably served for 32 years, culminating as the chief of police. Don was later elected as township supervisor in 2003, giving 50 years of his life to serving Allegheny Township in Pennsylvania. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Nancy; his daughters, Tracy and Tonya; and his grandchildren, McKenzie and Jordan. Don's service and his commitment to community will never be forgotten by the individuals of Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District. Recognizing Career and Technical Education Month
